freddy guitar
freddy :D i guess you can understand the why of the name!
built on les paul architecture and electronics, it features reciprocating saw blades as string holders that can be used as vibrato. a humbucker pickup amplifies the strings after the bridge. i expected to be able to play the saw blades, but you can't hear them. instead, the positive surprise is the body and fullness of the sound. between the roller bridge, the "posthumous" strings, and the saw blades, an imperceptible oscillation is generated that enriches the notes with harmonics and complexity. it sounds like a piano!
