Can't seem to get enough of this guitar part this week. Love the simplicity and for me at least the fuzzy haunting twangy distant-dreams sound of it all.

That video is a treasure. Thanks for sharing. He's good at using related keys and jazzy dorian "blue" notes to carry out subtle key changes.

Makes me want to do a DIY parts-caster.

I'm slightly envious of people who can do guitar mods/builds. I wouldn't even attempt it.

My last Partscaster was more like Partsdisaster. 😉

That's why I wouldn't attempt it. I'd wreck a guitar and hate myself.

I think some of the really good kits are pretty much fool proof, but they seem prohibitively expensive, and so then you're kind of wondering, what's the point? Some of the best companies who make up these kids are in the UK, too. But I understand what you're saying. I still find pieces of that doomed partscaster of mine around the house sometimes.

Just out of interest ,and as a non guitarist, there were two companies 'round here that used to modify guitars: John Birch and John Diggins. i  THOUGHT one specialised in Fenders and one in Gibsons and Diggins produced his own under JD guitars; believe geezer out of Slade had one. Guitarist I played with had a Gibson SG cherry red modified  by him; swore it improved the action no end.

I bloody love electric 12 strings. Much as I covet a Rickenbacker, I have the same Danelectro as this guy - it plays and sounds great at a fraction of the cost of a Rick.
