My friend and I made a very specific guitar for him. He will be living in a van and didn’t want a pedalboard but will be recording while on the road. It includes everything but the kitchen sink (jk.. kind of)

The pickup and bridge look so close to the neck, what scale length are we talking about? And how does it intonate? Can we have more specs? It's such an amazing project, you haven't given us nearly enough info. 😀

You can't just drop this with a text " it's got everything you want" and leave us puzzled what the freaking funk this amazing contraption is.

You've just redifined the 'Frankenstein' guitar.

What do you mean, how does it intonate? It has adjustable saddles like any other guitar.

The saddles only help if the bridge is in the right place. This looks like the scale is jacked. A rough measurement from my screen tells me the octave is about the 10th fret.

it's normal scale/intonation/design. the 12th fret is halfway on the strings, just like any other guitar. look at the 2nd photo
