This is part of what's wrong with music today. Every one is into the flash and glitz of it all but they don't take the time to learn ACTUAL MUSIC. You've got a guitar with LED's, who f'ng cares. Get on stage with that and...oh wait, from what I just heard a stage is no where in your future. Have fun with your light show because your music show is DOA!!!
LMAO. Yeah, I'm part of what's wrong with music today. *rolleyes*
I did this as a woodworking/electronics craft project, not to advance the glam-rock resurgence or something. Way to infer a bunch of music-snob horseshit from a short video demonstration of my project though. Clearly you must be some sort of clairvoyant... or wait, no... you're just another asshole on the internet who thinks he knows everything.
@Badjedidude yeah i know but youre completely right. i meant it that the tone could have been corrected. its awesome in general. it was vague of me to say something like that.
Everytime somebody makes something cool about a guitar, all the people can say is that the playing is crap...Stop whining and look at the inlays, LIKE the title says...it's not like the title is The best Guitar PLayer ever..
Dude, QUICK, remove this video, take your prototype and go to gibson or fender, or any other brand and SELL THE IDEA, seriously, you could get a lot of money from it. Just register the idea and you'll get paid anytime someone does somethign like this.
@0cscott it depends on what someone is going for.the biggest reason is to have something to look really awesome on stage,to set apart from other bands,all for putting on a better show.during my time as a gigging musician,ive come to learn that sadly,more value is placed on aesthetics and stage presence than playing skill and musical composition.thats why im buildin a guitar with LEDs in the fretboard,for it to look cool,and i do think it looks cool.dunno about these lightning bolts tho...
I wouldn't call that noodling, I'd call it causing pain. And the vibrato. You know this isn't guitar hero, and you don't get extra points for vibrato, right? However, awesome job with the inlays.
making a tutorial on how to do this would be awesome :). this was easily one of the best led setups I've seen, especially considering you did it yourself.(the three-point switch idea is really good, in case you get sick of it.) If not a video tutorial, maybe like some pictures or a written tutorial? Because there is no decent tutorial out there on how to do this :(
Hi. Ive been wanting to have LEDs on myguitar inlays for some time now, but i dont feel really comfortable with opening my guitar, and wiring and stuff. Is there any chance you might be willing to do something like this with one of my axes? Of course I would pay you... If so let me know, please. Thanks.
yo dude, nice, i was just wondering, where did u get the LED's? meaning what kind and did you just make like plastic/translusant inlays and put in LEDs behind them?
they are set at 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 12, 15, 17, 19and i think one or two more but i forget. they just make it easy to find the fret you looking for . instead of having to count the frets.
inlays just let the player know when to switch from major to minor chords and or its basicly like a ''map'' to help the player to remember where to put his fingers in order to play the right notes/chords
Dude that is sick. i just watch the same thing but it was only one string and no pickups. You win! I wonder if you can set a Fretlight up like that? Is it based on touch or the pickups?
Ha ha brilliant...The guitar demo was a little "if-y" but that is a very clever idea...probably a marketable one too. Have you had any issues with shocking yourself or ruining watches?
No. It's only 3 volts and 20mA. Not enough to hurt anything. The electricity takes the path of least resistance anyway, which is from one fret to the other through the string.
can you make a video of you showing or telling how you did it please? that is really cool and i have a crap guitar that i am fixing up, and i already did graphics kinda like eddie van halen on it and i am gonna put a zakk wylde emg 81 pickup in it, but with leds like that awesome lightning bolt inlay would just make it comletely amazing!
You don't have to play a song exactly like the original when you cover it.. that just makes it boring! Add your own fills and change the pitch a bit, It gives things your own flair instead of just being a jerk-off with a guitar :)
it's definitely very safe to use the strings to complete a circuit... you know... despite the fact that when you buy a guitar the strings are grounded so that you don't... let's say... die from an electric shock while playing.
Not sure what you mean. There is no controller. Just a 150ohm resistor in series in the circuit. And yes...it was a TON of soldering. Not to mention I had to bore out the back of the fretboard with a Dremmel tool to make room for the wires.
@ScotWithOnet how did you get the translucent plexiglass? and how did you connect up the switch?
pandazilla09 1 week ago
pretty cool... but i didn't appreciate the huge ray beginning in the 15th fret... i'd put all of them single rays for each 'dot'...
Anyway... don't bother with these guys saying crap 'bout your playing or whatever else... u got a very nice job there. Congrats!

It doesn't make your guitar look cooler, especially if you don't have the chops to back it up.
time would be better spent learning to set up the guitar correctly then learning to play it.
technical skills are win, professional job on the inlays, but not really that cool. It just looks like a toy
