Hi, this is my first post here...i'd been watching for about 5 month.. From the day i bought my BSB..well more than a sweet traded actually.. i gave him a Epiphone Les Paul Standar with Dimarzio superdistortion and $500 a he gave me a beatiful Jem..i love that guitar... :D

But that´s no the topic of this.. A friend of mine Got impressed with the Yngwie Video in wich he shows a Nylon String Stratocaster.. made By Fender..so he decided (my friend) that he will build one too..so a month ago he finally get the Piezo that he need to build so he did.. and the result was espectacular..When i saw the guitar and played it i decided that i should have one too.. so the Short story, here is it:



It was a Washburn Lyon Neck in a noname Body, i made a several modificacións to that guitar..

you can see it here..


So i have to remove the Floyd Rose and put a Wood Bridge..and ´cause a like it so much the finish of the BSB i went for something like that..

It sound Great...at least too me..

What do you guys think?

Hola!

Interesting mod! Nice monkey grip too! Thanks for sharing.

Do you have soundclips?

wemedge
Thanks..

The monkey grip i did it myself following the Brian´s Direcctions from www.projectguitar.com. ..with a little variations ´cause when i tested it first in piece a Wood it did not came out like the one on my BSB ..maybe a mesured wrong...so i took a template from my guitar a did the work..Following the instructions and using a Flat bladed drill bits,.. I think it looks pretty well and acurate.

For the sound Clip..here is
http://mipagina.cantv.net/jimenezr/sample1.mp3

Something, i think, it should sound familiar to you

Please judge the sound, not the guitar player :oops:

cheers

That sounds surprisingly good! Very cool idea!
thanks..I´m glad you like it..

The idea is to have a guitar that have the classical sound in a "Confortable" way...i don´t know is that is a real word.. but for me the Clasical guitar is too Big!!..my hands are small so i´ve always had trouble playing them.. Now i can practice and learn Classical songs..

The record was with an old Yamaha G100-212 and a very cheap mike..
into my SB live card..

with no efects at all.

Wow... you recorded that through an electric guitar amp? What kind of pickup have you got in there?
Yes.. The pickup is a Piezo from Belcat with a 5 Band E.Q.

I believe is the model Belcat 9050..here it cost around $100..i guess is cheaper in everywhere else.. Here everything is soooooooo Expensive

cheers
