About time to add some words in My so called musical chronical.
Recording session with "Elinor" will hopefully soon reaach the end of the line. in the meantime I went down to the basement in hope to create not one but two guitars.
Both with body styling based on well known Burns guitars.
to start of the was the 12-string guitar that i wanted with a body styled from the famous Burns Vibraslim-TR4. As soon as the body was saw´d I realised that it wasnt going to be a 12-string, but a ordinary 6-string guitar.
The 3 plywood parts was grinded into the shape I wanted, in hope to reduce its weight the hole inside was cut out. It´s neck was fitted with strings just to get a small test of the guitar. It seamed to work real good. My intention is to mount not 2, not 3 but 5 singelcoil pickups in the guitar. It may work and might give this guitar a very special kind of sound.
As soon as i got hold of a proper bass-neck the to be Burns Bass body was cut upp for fitting the new neck. As a choice of pickups there is at this moment a pair of Fender Jazz Bass pickups and one set of P-bass pickups. Still im not sure if this will be the final sollution of the bass sound system. I do think i would like to have at least 3, maybe a 4-pickup configuration on this bass.
A phonecall to Sanden Guitars in Gothenburg gave a real surprise. The Sanden Guitar No:400 was under construction and will be a "Vindö 28 special". Made out of mahogony taken from the old Vindö 28 yacht.
Not to forget my freind in Canada Rob "numubu" who celebrated his birhtday
and Bruce !!! of "MUG" guitar shop in Gothenburg.
by the way, on sale in His shop Bruce do have a nice if not completly
original Burns Split Sonic in unusual Satin Black.
To all of You from all of Me-Us
a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!
Johnny
