Warr Guitar : Pictures
Today I was doing some practicing on the Warr guitar and realized I hadn’t gotten around to posting any pictures of it yet. So here is a picture of the front and back of the instrument. I have a ten string “Artist” model with 18v Bartolini pickups. The body is West African Zebrawood (species Microberlinia) and the is neck maple / walnut laminae with a Wenge fretboard. It’s still string in the standard manner with the bass strings reversed. I have ordered a few sets of new strings. Once they arrive I’ll drop the instrument off with Mike Lull and have him cut a new nut so I can reverse the bass strings.
Overall I think the instrument is really lovely. The wood is beautiful and it has a very solid percussive tone. And it’s pretty heavy. I haven’t decided on the processing signal path yet. I plan to use my POD XTLive to process the melody side, and I need to find another processor to manage the bass side. My assumption is that I’ll need a less complex processor for the bass. We’ll see…
So, are you going to start wearing back-braces to shows?
I need to get a climbing harness and just hang from the ceiling.
