i don't think a promising young woman's life should be ruined just because some guy dressed up in flammable clothes, chose to be there, asked for it and then regretted after

β€œWe are an existential threat to billionaires who think their money can buy our democracy.” Zohran Mamdani’s election to the most populous city in the U.S. is weeks away, and will be the best thing that could ever happen to working people. Not only in New York, but the country.

I like parts of this but it's not subtle enough, the OUTATIME and logo on the clasp are cheesy, I like the calculator numbers but the black bars seem weirdly off centre? This seems designed by committee a bit

Still not above putting a raspberry pi in the guitar, maybe just a zero though, controlling an audio Exciter, just some real basic dsp that can have a bit of a delay on it.

Full os, doom etc

Seal a demon in it etc

I will likely have access to a CNC machine, a laser cutter and 3D print within a week

This guitar could happen

I'd wanna do an easier one I could just buy plans for first, but this could exist

The idea of a lead 2 with my pickup system, a 4x2 or Brian May headstock and a bender system is really fuckin tempting, maybe some Timara String Drops?

Call it the steel driver or something

Think it'd be pretty fucking sick

Im no expert on industrial design by any stretch of the imagination, just really like it.

Only thing I've ever design designed was the ETHOS guitar concept

The design language would be usable for other things obviously but all I ever designed was the guitar and a chair I think

I fucking love FROGs industrial design, they also did all of the snow white macintosh stuff and a lot of the cool early 90s sony stuff

just in a mood to look at cool guitars honestly
I love the industrial design of them cause like, its something that inherently NEEDS to be ergonomic at least a bit

But it rarely IS perfectly ergonomic, as making it super human friendly results in it looking a bit odd, and sounding poor

I talk about this idea a lot, mostly because it's a fun thought experiment and it's a good distraction from any of life's usual worries

Like, hard to stress about bills if I'm fantasizing about being like, the sams club version of Nintendo ya know

Just with games that look like this

Some Latin sounding modal stuff for you on an OLD custom I built out of Harmony, Gibson and Peavey parts

I think it'd be funny to put a full size raspberry pi 5 in this. Have it do the IR for the piezo, have it control an acoustic Exciter based sustainer, have it control an Arduino based internal tremolo.

Have a full desktop computer in your guitar

Package it with doom
Package it with librequake

Again that's why I like mate, it has a theme thing built in that changes each piece as you want with a few clicks.

It's a wonderful os. When I eventually win the lottery and open a tech company selling OEM crap, it's the os I'll use.

Same with when I cram a computer in a guitar.

1962 Fender 400 pedal steel
YouTube video by Dave Zirbel 1962 Fender 400 pedal steel

Like, I know they're antiquated, and the tuning and mechanics etc aren't like modern steels at all, but God 60s and 70s fender pedal steels sounds o god-damned beautiful

Theyre also usually cheaper than even student model or second hand steels too.

A modern USED steel off the forums or worse yet on reverb is gonna run you like 2-3 grand, but you can get these boys for like $900 to $2000 on the high end, but cheaper if youre patient

Society needs more steel guitar
