I Am Tterevel @mistertterevel.bsky.social · Sep 9
I've recently regained intrest in Cycling, so here's my new steed:

#Addmotor HeroTri M-365X.

Haven't put this thing down since I got it.

Dean Uli Jon Roth Sky 7
The Dean Uli Jon Roth Sky 7 is a 7-string version of Uli's signature body style. Imagine starting with a Strat body, cutting an S-shaped curve out of it that totally removes the lower cutaway horn, then bolting a neck to it and extending the fretboard all the way to the bridge pickup (a humbucker, in this case). It's got 32 frets, but since the space between the frets is so small when you get up to the really high ones, the last 4 are whole steps instead of half steps like normal. There's a volume knob; one each for bass, middle, and treble; a master gain knob; a 5-way blade switch (even though there's only one pickup); and a coil tap switch. To top it off, the guitar has a Strat-style trem.

Carvin V440 bass
Yesterday I posted a resonator guitar that was all wood. Today, I'm posting a bass that's all metal! (Metaphorically speaking, anyway.) The Carvin V440 bass is one of those X-shaped guitars that were so popular in the 1980s. There are two of them in this picture: a black one and a white one. They both have basically the same features. They have two humbuckers, and each one has its own volume knob and coil tap switch. There's also a master tone control. The only difference between these two (besides the color) is that the black one has a Kahler trem, making it a V440T model.

Rickenbacker 430
You ever wonder what it would look like if Rickenbacker made a Telecaster? Well, here's the answer: the 430. It's a solidbody electric with a double-cutaway body. It's got two single-coil pickups, and each one has its own volume and tone control. There's also a 3-way switch. All of the controls are mounted on the signature teardrop-shaped pickguard. The weirdest thing about this guitar is its 24-fret neck. Unfortunately, the Rickencaster wasn't very popular, and it was only made for a year or two in the mid-70s.

Charvel Fusion V bass
The Charvel Fusion V is the earliest 5-string bass I've seen, having come out in the late 80s. (I'm not counting the Fender Bass V, since it had a high C string instead of the low B that modern 5-strings have.) It's got a Fender-ish shape with a really long upper horn and short lower one. It's got a J pickup and a P pickup, and there are 4 knobs: a master volume, a tone control for each pickup, and a mix control for the active preamp.

Erlewine Ultra
The Erlewine Ultra is a headless version of a Dean ML-style guitar. It's got a humbucker in the bridge and a single-coil in the neck. The only control I see is a volume knob. The body has been contoured at the end so give better access to the tuners on the bridge.

Music Man Stingray II
The Music Man Stingray II is a guitar version of MM's famous Stingray bass. This version is from 1976, when Leo Fender was still president of the company and way before they merged with Ernie Ball. It's got a Strat-style body and two humbuckers. Each one has its own tone knob, and there's also a master volume, a 4-way rotary pickup switch which lets you play each pickup either in or out of phase, and a brightness circuit that's controlled by a rocker switch.

Yamaha YEG-100A
The Yamaha YEG-100A was built in 1988 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Yamaha's founding. It's a double-cutaway electric with a curled upper horn. There's a beautiful long-tailed bird inlaid on the body. The guitar has two humbuckers, one volume, one tone, and a 3-way switch. There's also a mid-boost knob, an on/off switch for the active electronics, and a coil tap switch for each pickup. Lastly, the guitar has a double locking trem. Only 20 versions of this model were made.

Harmony H56 Roy Smeck
The Harmony H56 Roy Smeck model isn't as weird as some of his other signature models that I've posted. It doesn't have soundholes shaped like seals or a bridge shaped like an airplane, for example. It's just a really beautiful archtop guitar. It's got dark blue paint with gold sparkles, two F-holes, and a large white pickguard. There's one single-coil pickup by the neck, and there's one volume and one tone control. My favorite part is the headstock. It's got a big Harmony logo, three lines that make an L shape, and Roy's name in capital letters. (ROY is horizontal, and SMECK is vertical, following the three lines.)

Yamaha IN-1 Issei Noro
The Yamaha IM-1 was the signature model for Casiopea guitarist Issei Noro. Its body is similar to a Les Paul's, but it looks a little smaller and has asymmetrical cutaways. It's got two humbuckers, and there's a single-coil between them. Each humbucker has its own volume and tone control. The tone knobs are also push/pull coil taps. There's a 3-way switch in the upper horn. The single-coil has its own volume knob, so you can control it independently of the other pickups or take it out of the mix entirely if you don't want to hear it. The guitar also has a double-locking trem.

Schecter dUg Pinnick DP-12 LH
Here's a weird bass for the lefties out there. The Schecter dUg Pinnick DP-12 LH is the signature model for the bassist of King's X. It's a 12-string bass with a single cutaway, kinda like a Les Paul. (Twelve-string basses are like regular 4-string basses, but every string is tripled. Each string group has a low string and two high strings. In this case, it's set up eeE aaA ddD ggG.) It's got a P-style split pickup, one volume control, and two knobs for the Seymour Duncan active EQ.

Ken Parker archtop "Yo Yo"
You may have heard of the Parker Fly, but did you know Ken Parker also made archtop guitars? Here's one, named "Yo Yo". It's a single-cutaway design, and it's got the signature Parker headstock. There's a humbucking pickup next to the neck, and there's a soundhole above where the neck meets the body. Speaking of the neck joint... Here's a side view of the guitar, showing the soundhole and the neck joint. As you can see, the whole neck/pickguard/pickup assembly is floating above the body on a small block of carbon fiber. It's one of the wildest things I've ever seen.

Kay K328 Vanguard II
The Kay Vanguard II is an offset-style guitar with two cutaways and a large pickguard covering the bottom half of the body. The version in the picture (a K328 model) has three gold foil single-coil pickups, and models with one and two pickups were also available. Each pickup has its own volume and tone control, and there's also a rotary pickup selector with a long, pointy knob.

Shergold 8/4 doubleneck bass
Here's a weird one from the UK: a Shergold doubleneck bass. The top neck has 8 strings, and the bottom one has 4. Each neck has its own pickup right in the middle of the body, and each pickup has its own volume and tone control. There's also a 3-way sliding switch so you can choose which neck gets output. Only 3 of these were ever made.

Blanton Custom bass
Here are three pictures (two full-length and one that's just a closeup of the body) of a bass that was built by luthier Jerry Blanton. Its body is shaped like a big curve with a little swoosh at the lower cutaway horn. It looks like it's got one pickup, but I'm not sure if there's another one under the bridge cover or not. I'm guessing there is because there's a 3-way switch to go with the volume and tone knobs.

Washburn Jennifer Batten JB100
The Washburn JB100 is the signature model for Jennifer Batten. It's shaped similar to a Strat and has three pickups in the Strat configuration, although they're actually humbuckers shaped like single-coils. There's a volume and a tone control, a 5-way blade switch, and a coil tap switch. There's also a Roland GK-2A synth pickup between the bridge pickup and the bridge itself, and it's got its own switch and volume knob, as well as a light to tell you if it's on or not as well as what looks like two pushbuttons to control it. (I'm guessing that's what they're for; I haven't been able to find a manual for this guitar.) The guitar has a MIDI output to go with the normal 1/4 inch one, and it's got a double locking trem and a 3/3 split headstock.

Ritter Violin bass
The Ritter Violin bass looks like an actual violin, more along the lines of an early EB-0 than the Hofner style. There's a slim humbucker pickup in the neck, and it's directly output with no knobs or switches. (The output jack is on the back of the guitar.)

Deering Boston 6-string banjo
The Deering Boston 6-string banjo is tuned like a regular guitar, so you can get that banjo sound without having to learn a new instrument. It's got an 11 inch head and 22 frets. There's a version with a pickup close to the neck, but the one in the picture is the acoustic version.

Gibson/Alembic 12-string
Here's a 12-string that Alembic customized for David Crosby. It started out as a Gibson Crest 6-string (imagine an ES-335, but totally hollow, short-scale, and made out of rosewood). He took it to Alembic in 1970, and Rick Turner did some magic to it. Rick wired up two humbuckers and hooked them to an onboard preamp so they can output in mono or stereo. It looks like there are two volume and two tone controls, but one of the volume controls has been moved to the lower horn where the switch would normally be. The coolest thing about this guitar is that Rick wired in some red LEDs on the side of the neck for fret position markers. That's most likely the first time anybody had done that. (It was 1970, after all.)

Gibson Holy Explorer
The Gibson Holy Explorer is what it sounds like: an Explorer with holes. There are 4 that stretch from the bridge to the end of the body, two between the two humbuckers, and one below the neck pickup. There's a volume knob and a 3-way switch.

Yerevan TWO-GRIFF doubleneck
The TWO-GRIFF doubleneck was made in Yerevan, Armenia back when it was still part of the USSR. It's got a weird, lumpy shape and has a 6-string guitar on top and a 4-string bass on bottom. The guitar has three single-coil pickups, and the bass has two. The guitar side also has a tremolo and a blade-style switch. The bass side looks like it's got two knobs and a on/off switch, but I have no idea what does what. Like most Soviet-era guitars, It's got a DIN jack instead of a 1/4 inch plug.

NS Design SCT6 FIN
The NS Design SCT6 FIN is the latest design from Ned Steinberger. It's got the same basic design as one of this older guitars, but has fanned frets and is made out of carbon fiber. It's got three passive humbuckers that are under a large cover. There's a volume knob (push/pull to turn the preamp on), a tone knob (push/pull coil tap), what I think is another knob to control the preamp, and a 5-way blade switch. It's also got a fold-out leg rest if you want to play it sitting down.

Gretsch BST-1500 Beast
The Gretsch BST-1500 Beast (or model 8217, if you go by the old Gretsch model numbers) is a solid-body electric with a single cutaway and a large black pickguard. It's got two humbuckers, one volume and one tone control, and a 3-way switch. It also has a Strat-style hardtail bridge. The weirdest thing about this guitar is the headstock logo is printed sideways instead of along the top of the headstock. This model only lasted from 1978 to 1981. One of my coworkers got one for Christmas back in 1980.
