Modular guitar

Interesting! Shame it sounds like crap

A classic case of making your own problem then solving it. He ends up with one incredibly ugly guitar.

And utterly pointless, the joy of different guitars is that they are different, this just has different clothes, waste of the designers time and money, its been done before with zero success.....I'm out!

I'm not having any of that. What else would I clutter my study up with to my wife's eternal annoyance if it wasn't multiples of guitars? What next, one amp that does everything?

almost a good idea. IMO what it needs is

• A way of hiding the join
• Each new identity piece contains a circuit that shapes the sound so that it sounds like the guitar it's pretending to be. It connects when you side the identity piece onto the central bit.

Congratulations, you've invented an even more expensive terrible guitar that no-one wants!

I've got a modular guitar. It's a Fender Telecaster.

@axisus I'd give it a try. I'd like the 335 and V bits, plus SG and LP bits pleez.

I think it looks great fun, and upcycled!

I once had the idea to (through mounting them from behind) build a guitar that you could swap out pickups on the fly, and adjust their position... The idea was to make a test bed to compare pickup type and placement 

Not sure I'd ever have suggested it could be used outside - let alone as three different cover band situations... And I think I accepted that it would be really ugly. 

Maybe I should have made an upcycling video that got sponsored
