When you apply lossy compression to the instrument itself so you don't have to bother with it after recording.

I assume there will be questions... it was built from a cheap, small classical guitar to be something I could travel with~
The pickup you see is not currently wired up (dun worry I know it won't work with nylon strings - it's there if/when I wanna try steel strings.) There is a piezo pickup under the bridge at the moment.
The strings route over the roller bridge, around another set of rollers and then to tuners - which is the headstock I chopped off the neck.
It's pretty quiet and gross, but also fun to play and work on for a laugh.
I think you are missing about ⅓ of guitar.
I wouldn't say I'm missing it, Bob.
Nice work! How do you tune it?
Check out the other photos in the thread. The tuning pegs are now located under the bridge. I put a clip on tuner on the bridge, pluck the string with my fretting hand and adjust with the strumming hand. It's all backwards, but works fine!
I love this guitar. Why do you have to post awesome stuff like this while I already have several projects going on?
Lol soz! What are your projects? You should post some!
Nothing remotely related to guitars at the moment. I'll post something someday.
Oh cool. I do a lot of random projects too. Working on a weird bicycle this weekend :)

The twine strap really is the icing on the cake. You’re wild, I love this
Thanks haha, I did/do have plans to make something that doesn't slice into the back of my neck, but I agree, the twine aesthetic is too appropriate for now.
