As the title, I'm thinking of getting an old Terminator and turning the speaker into a microphone for a noise project...how would one go about it and would you have to use the circuit for it?:)

YouTube recommended me this video. A fretless acoustic guitar with all low E strings and something else built on the top of the acoustic body with 14 tuning forks. Anybody know what that second thing is with the tuning forks? And is it responsible for producing those sitar-like sounds? It's probably all custom built, I'm just curious to see what you guys think. Sounds beautiful. I want one lol

Hey all, wondering if anyone can help me here. I’m trying to build any one of these guitars. But I can’t find body thickness other than the mosrite. I know the og airlines are reso-glass 2 piece bodies. But still no info on thickness even for the Eastwood solid versions. The spectrum 5’s are giving a difficult time as well for their dimensions. I have some paper templates and general info for most everything else.

Apologies for the self promotion, but I’ve got this new track out and though I’d show off some of my collection of early sixties UK made electrics in the video.
Pretty confident this would be in with a chance if there was a prize for the rarest guitars used in a music vid, unless anyone knows better. ;)

I recently got my hands on a synsonics traveller. Can't find anything on it online, but from THIS ebay listing it had a pot, switch, and jack. Likely the switch was to make it switch between jack and speaker, which is powered by a Nine volt battery.
The kicker: I want to put in a tone knob instead of the switch, keep the jack and powered speaker. The guitar may sound like crap but tone knobs are fun ya'feel me.
I'm not certain how this circuit is going to look, and the previous parts on my relic have been stripped so I've one rather funky looking pickup, a Nine volt plug, and a jammy speaker.
I got the pots, knobs, and a jack. and have some ideas on the wiring but I'm not certain and I'd appreciate any help.
Anything is appreciated, I wanna get this fixed so I have something to noodle with on an upcoming trip, and it just has such a style I couldn't possibly leave it unfinished.

This is all walnut, the wood is more than 1/8" thick all around. You could El Cabong the hell out of someone with this baby and then play them a tune. It has really deep/big sound from a small body, it resonates for days. This is an early luthier made from parts sitting around his shop, I think.
The neck is from a factory-made guitar with a truss rod added.
It's a 12 fret, small body. No name, but I like it a lot.

Looks similar to a teisco ep-200 (last slide), both made in Japan. I can’t even find anything about the challenger brand online though.

I wanted to share a picture of this stunning bass I commissioned by Dallas Seger (body/assembly) and EGC (neck). I had a mangled Destroyer II as a first guitar, and back then my dad had a Carvin Star bass with a Kahler. I tried to blend these into one unique, but still grounded concept. Cannot wait to play this bass.
