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.

Wandre Scarabeo
Beatlemania was everywhere in the mid-1960s. Everybody was making hats and pins and shirts and soap and any other kind of merchandise you could think of. The coolest Beatles-inspired thing I've seen is this guitar, the Wandre Scarabeo. Its got a roughly oval-shaped body that was inspired by a scarab beetle (hence the clever name). Its red and black paint job suggests the beetle's wings. It's even got an upper cutaway horn that's supposed to be the beetle's antenna. The Scarabeo has two of those cool trapezoidal single-coil pickups that are on most other Wandre guitars. Each one has its own on/off switch, and there's also a volume and a tone control. The vibrato tailpiece is shaped like a big W, and the 3/3 split slotted headstock has a surrounding piece that looks like a Beatles haircut.

Parker Fly Mojo Single Cutaway
The Parker Fly Mojo Single Cutaway is a bit underwhelming when you compare it to the rest of the Parker guitars I've posted. It's basically their version of a Les Paul. It's also all wood, which is surprising because of Parker's previous history of using carbon fiber. The only difference between this and any other LP clone is that the lower cutaway horn is longer and squared off. It's got two humbuckers, and each one has its own volume and tone control. There's also a 3-way switch. To top it off, it's got a 3/3 split headstock.

Framus Streetwalker
The Framus Streetwalker is a variation on the Explorer shape. It's got a more narrower and more rounded bass, and the cutaway horn is a little longer and thinner. It's got a humbucker in the bridge, and a hot rails-style humbucker and a single-coil crammed into the neck position. The 3-way switch controls which humbucker is being output, and the volume knob is also a push/pull that cuts out the humbuckers and activates the single coil. Of course, no guitar like this would be complete without a Floyd Rose trem.

Charvel Surfcaster bass
The Charvel Surfcaster bass is a semi-hollow electric with an offset body and a Rickenbacker-style F-hole. It's got two lipstick pickups like the guitar version, but they're vertical instead of angled like the guitar, and they're also closer to the bridge. There's a volume, a tone control, and a 3-way switch. One of the knobs is also a push/pull phase reversal switch.

As far as I can tell, Denny's playing one of these:

Danelectro Bellzouki
The Danelectro Bellzouki was designed by studio guitarist Vinnie Bell, who also designed the Coral Sitar. This guitar has 12 strings and a symmetrical, mostly oval body that flares out in a couple spots. It also has two lipstick single-coil pickups, two volume and tone controls, and a master volume.

BC Rich Mockingbird Thinline Acoustic
If you ever need to play acoustic guitar but don't want to look like a wimp, then the BC Rich Mockingbird Thinline Acoustic is for you! It's got the normal Mockingbird shape, and has four small soundholes on the upper cutaway horn. It's got a piezo pickup in the bridge, and the control section on the top has a volume knob, a bass knob, and sliders for treble, mid, and presence.

Guild Jetstar bass
Here's a still from the Monkees' TV show. Peter Tork is in the foreground, playing a Guild Jetstar bass. The Jetstar is the bass version of the Thunderbird guitar, and they both look like a Strat that's been left in the sun to melt. The waistline of the bass is so offset that it's really close to the end of the body, and the end of the bass is actually concave. Jetstars originally came with a Hagstron BiSonic humbucking pickup and a 2/2 split headstock, but the one Peter's playing is a later model, probably from around 1966. You can tell because it's got a DeArmond single-coil pickup and a 4-in-line headstock. There's a volume and a tone control, and that's it. It does have thumb rests on either side of the strings, though.

Ritter Samurai bass
The Ritter Samurai bass has gotta be the weirdest thing I've posted this year. It's a fanned-fret 7 string headless bass that looks like a long, curved red oval being cut in half by a large black blade. The pickups are hidden, but it probably has two considering there's a 3-way switch. There's also a volume and tone control. It's got a headstock that's just big enough for the Ritter logo. The tuners are part of the bridge and can be accessed on the back of the bass.

Gretsch G5566 Jet Double Neck
The Gretsch G5566 Jet Double Neck has a baritone neck and a regular 6-string neck. Each one has two humbucking pickups, a pickup selector, and even a Bigsby. The guitar also has a master volume, a tone control, a neck selector switch, and a sparkly silver top.

Hagstrom Swede
Here's a picture of Frank Zappa at the Armadillo World Headquarters in 1975. You can see Denny Walley off to his left and Captain Beefheart behind him. Frank's playing a Hagstrom Swede, their version of a Les Paul. It's a little curvier, especially in the cutaway area. It's also got a bass/mid boost switch in addition to the 3-way pickup switch. The rest of it is the normal LP setup, with two humbuckers and a volume and tone for each. Unlike the normal Swede or Les Paul, this one's apparently been wired for stereo. You can see two guitar cables coming out of it. It's Frank's birthday! He would've been 85 today.

Danelectro Baby Sitar
When most people think of the phrase "sitar guitar," they think of the Coral version with the drone strings. Danelectro made another version after that, though. Their Baby Sitar looks more like the real thing than the Coral version did. It didn't have the drone strings, either; all of the twang came from the bridge. It's got a lipstick pickup, one volume, and one tone control.

ESP Funichar
The ESP Funichar was made for Japanese guitarist Char. Its body reminds me of a rounded-off triangle with curves cut out of it and a triangular cutaway horn. It's got two P-90s, one volume, and one tone control, but I don't see a pickup switch. It's also got a trem that's reminiscent of what you'd find on a Fender Jazzmaster. The weirdest pat of the guitar is its reversed 6-in-line headstock. The low E string actually has two extra frets that extend down the headstock and allow you to play in drop D. There's a pin that you can swing into place if you want to play in standard tuning, and then swing out of the way if you want to drop it down. Here's a shot of the headstock. You can see the pin above the nut, between the E and A strings. You can also see the two extra frets.

Epiphone Mo' Baby
The Epiphone Mo' Baby is a travel guitar based on the Gibson Moderne. It's got a humbucker next to the bridge, and that's got a volume and a tone control. It's also got a built-in amp, and the speaker for that is where the neck pickup would normally be. There's a blade switch that turns it on and off and also lets you choose whether it's clean or distorted, and it's even got a light that shows you if it's on or not.

Dommenget Moshela bass
The Dommenget Moshela bass is similar to the Schecter dUg Pinnick model I posted a couple weeks ago. It's a 12-string bass that's shaped like a Les Paul. There are a few differences, though. This one's right handed, unlike dUg's. It's got two EMG pickups, and each one has its own volume and tone control. The biggest difference (besides the handedness) is the fact that this one has a Jazzmaster-style trem! The weirdest thing about this bass, though, is definitely the fret markers that are made out of ammonites.

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.
