"Motherless Child" with Wafa Ghorbal - Teisco Del Rey with P-90 Pickups

[stikkasoundsystem]

I have 2 Teiscos and they are crappy guitars, bodies made of multiplex, non adjustable bridge fitted in the wrong place - it's the pickups that makes them magic though, can't believe you took them off!

Excellent..!

Man that is hauntingly beautiful, it is an honour to hear it.

[LeeVaiM]

rock that guitar man!

[pissmidget]

did you put new pickups on the guitar?

[cloudyproject]

@pissmidget - yes, surface mount P90s from GFS. Thing is, they're so tall I had to shim the neck up 1/4" - the guitar was almost impossible to play. Sometime I'll get humbucker-mount P90s and make the thing where it can really wail. I love the tone of the guitar solo though, really unique to my ear.

awesomeness! the guitar is amazing, and I love the effects on her vocals, sort of haunting.

[GNRnotGUNSnROSES]

My grandpa died when I was in the 7th grade and I got to keep his guitar, The one your useing is the same kind. It was his first ever guitar and my first ever guitar, Im happy to see someone apreciates it, Its really a beautiful guitar, and the reason Im learning how to play. Recently I bought myself a peavey repter xp. Is lovely and my dad uses grandpas guitar now. Im teaching him how to play. he wants to learn love me tender by elvis or sumthing :) hahahah. Lol

[sevycat]

Good stuff. It's clear to me that you dedicated some time to revamping the guitar and then to put this song together is very note worthy. Funny, that you ask her not to sue you in the video. My sides are still hurting. LOL

[cloudyproject]

Thanks - I did email her a link to the video - she's in Paris now - and she sent me a very gracious reply, said it was a different world than hers but (essentially) she dug it - made my day!
