NAMM 2022. Just plain fun:
-
wow.
-
Somebody's been inspired by CBGs, number plate guitars, shovel guitars etc...
-
no, definitely no, I don't like this type of instrument. To be honest I think it's ugly.
(sounds good, but no.... but that's me)
-
Verso Instruments Germany, they got a bass and a baritone as well.
COSMO - E-Gitarre mit Blechkorpus - Verso Musical instruments
is this the first guitar ever with this pick-up design ?
isn't that an über great idea ?
-
Beautiful and ugly are in the eye of the beholders. However, I believe that it would not be ergonomic without a strap to play this design for long times. It would definitely require a lap rest of some sort.
-
the tin is folded 90° right where the right leg is at ... should be a very comfortable guitar.
without the 8 months waiting list and for a little less money, I'd like to give it a go.
-
I don't feel inspired enough to research further. Is it really made of steel? Steel tends to be... heavy. I don't like heavy guitars.
-
I don't think I'd want one, but I'd definitely like to *try* one.
-
Now is the time to start a rumour that aluminium has better tone.

Why? What's the relevance to my argument? That guitar has a koa body...
Am I giving things about away my cultural awareness if I ask if chili calls for beans?

If the body is ferromagnetic, its vibrations should be picked up by the pickup.
(Heck, you might even get something closer to an acoustic guitar when you put a PU on a resonant metal body instrument strung with non-magnetic strings ... surely someone must have made something like that?)

There are metal resonator guitars with pickups. But nylon strings aren't likely going to be able to impart much vibration into a metal body. And the pickup would have to be suspended in order to pick up any body vibrations. It it's attached to the top, and moves with it, no voltage would be induced. IMO it's just not worth the trouble. A piezo would work, but works as well if not better on wood, and the sound is not really ideal.

I get the argument about how a floating PU would be required and it's undoubtedly true if you want a full-range frequency response. But if you watch the demonstrations of Justin Johnson's shovel guitar it seems that body (erm, blade) vibrations are picked up quite well.
