    You were probably thinking of Tadao Ando. Frank Gehry became Frank Gehry with his use of swooped curvaceous pieces of shiny metal.

    Although Gehry was well known for using inexpensive common materials of all kinds for his creations from small to huge, and he used a lot of metal early in his career, he’s best known for his use of concrete. Many of his major buildings use concrete as design and esthetic elements. He even made a line of concrete jewelry for Tiffany about 20 years ago.

    I bought a ring for my wife, thinking she'd love it. I was wrong. But I thought it was really cool. They only made a few, and they're now hotter than Hutch L5s.


    He made many things from many materials. His first work in Europe was the Vitra Design Museum in Germany, which is largely white plaster and an alloy of titanium and zinc. But I think most would agee that concrete is the mainstay of Gehry's major work. He's designed some truly amazing concrete buildings -



    the Louis Vuitton Foundation in Paris -



    the Walt Disney concert hall in LA -



    concrete houses -

    I am wiring up an S-6 for mounting on a 17" full body fully carved oval sound hole Campellone Special. I can't find a wiring diagram for an S-6 online. All I can find are ones for the B-6 and the generic Seymour Duncan diagrams. The ones I have for the B-6 show both volume and tone pots as A250K.
    The initial post here shows 500K pots. The S-6 has only a hot wire and a bare ground, no 3 or 4 wire cables like the B-6. Does anyone
    know what pot values SD and/or Benedetto recommend for the S-6? Thx

    Benedetto has been generous in supplying such information in the past. They provided a full wiring diagram for another guitar/pickup combo. Contact information is on the website.
