 Grin Yep!

I have thought about making a more victorian looking one too. But will have to wait for more money before I can build another more of these.

That looks sweet! Did you mod an existing guitar or build that from the ground up? I'd be interested in knowing more about the specs of the guitar; what kind of woods, what model pickup, etc. Is the switch a coil tap? Honestly that's one of the best steampunk guitars I've ever seen; I'd love to get a bass like that, or maybe a Victorian styled one.

"Well, I don't really think that the end can be assessed as of itself as being the end because what does the end feel like? It's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe, you say, if the universe is indeed infinite, then how - what does that mean? How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you."

It was an existing guitar thats just been moded. 
To tell you the truth I don't really know what kind of woods it has, other then the rosewood fretboard. This was my first big custom build and I didn't have alot of money so I used my old parts guitar. It was originally just going to be for a piece of art. But in the end it plays pretty good. The pickup isn't that great, but throw a good pickup in it and I think it would sound pretty good too.

The switch is for the LEDs. I was going to have another one for a kill switch but I ran out of room.
As for a victorian one I'm still trying to think of how to pull that off..

Thanks! If this guitar sells I do hope to buy guitars and fix them up like this. (Maybe some basses too Wink )
