Design Your Own Guitar

I stumbled across this great Japanese web site that allows you to design your own custom Fender Tele or Strat, Gibson Les Paul or SG, Jackson, Ibanez and many others.

The site is called Kisekae Virtual Guitar Modelling System. Kisekai is a Japanese word for a girl's game where they play, by mixing and exchanging doll's clothing. This site allows the control in wood, grain, colours, all hardware, pickups and much more.

To save your guitar, you will have to Print Screen (or F12) and paste it into Paint, Photoshop or similar software and save.

Here is how my current project '69 Thinline Tele will look like:


... and the next guitar on my wishlist - '72 Tele Deluxe.

First Post

I enjoy spending hours a day reading about all things new in Guitarland. If it's a new pedal, six-stringer, amp or even a guitar strap I end up reading many links, forums and pages - but no blog. So this is a collection of news and pictures about things that I have, I want or have seen that would interest other geeks out there.

I also have the privilege of seeing a lot of live music and listening to a lot of new music. So this will double as a secondary music blog and I'm sure other things will creep on here as well.

To kick things off, here is one of my favourite YouTube's of Tom Waits singing "Make It Rain" on Letterman a while back. The conviction in Wait's delivery and the vibrato on Judah Bauer's Fender Tweed makes this one of the best performances on Letterman.
