I'm building a new guitar. So three things influenced this one. A hybrid tele / Strat body I saw, an interesting neck and particularly an interesting electronics option. Here are the bits as arrived. The body is a telecaster shape, telecaster neck pocket, telecaster control cavity but routed for 3 Strat pickups and a Strat style vibrato bridge. The control cavity makes it different to many hybrid Telecasters a la the John Mayer model which have a more Strat like control cavity. The body was advertised as "mahogany" it's quite red in nature but nice looks to be two piece centre jointed. The neck is mahogany with a maple fingerboard and a maple skunk strip. So a bit reverse look from normal. Electronically I'm going with three Strat pickups from Tonerider, having used there nashville set in the nashville tele conversion I did I was impressed. Five way switch master volume and tone. But I'm putting in a shape shifter switch ...
There is a big question as to if that video is real. Maybe a really good stunt pilot with a really good stunt plane could do it, but it'll never happen with a normal pilot and a Cessna.
ReplyDeleteI sat watching it the first time with a pilot who I've flown with several times. He believed it but his comment was "only in a plane with that amount of power since it could knifedge (I think that was the phrase) like that."
ReplyDeleteSo yes ordinary pilot with ordinary plane no chance.
Holy Krap !!!
ReplyDeleteEither way you look at it it stills blows your mind!
ReplyDeleteCol - I know even if it's a fake the energy and thought to make this is amazing.
