how's that for a sensational click bait title? apologies, but i found these photos fascinating and think many here would also. these loaded very slowly here [USA]. may be a function of coming from New Zealand, or very slow data flow in N E Texas boonies. either way, well worth the wait. click on "Architecture in Music" link. www.charlesbrooks.info/mitchfit |

Hi Mitchfit, Those are beautiful images. Smart phones have opened up many ways of capturing images and this is certainly one that works so well. I have been taking similar photos of guitars for a few years, they look more like an amazing room than the inside of a guitar. Here's one I just found, I'll see if I can find some others. This is the inside of my Fine Resophonic Tricone. I love the sunlight coming in through the grilles, or is that now a roof-light.  Shine On Michael  |

Michael, was alerted to these pics by NTD news article yesterday. they said he used "bore scope camera" tech for images rendered. each image was actually compiled from many by a computer program due to the shallow focal plane of the lens. imagine a photo of the grand hallway... carynesplin.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/CarynEsplin_VenetianHall.jpg...in a Weissenborn hollow neck guitar! mitchfit |

How mad I am....I try to made one of the walls of my kitchen curved like the side of my squareneck; it's a work in process but relatively easy to do with wet 6mm "placoplatre". On another hand, some of you may like to spend some holydays in the extreme south of France in a very special hotel, just on the border of Spain. It's a fantastic place, out of time, a masterpiece of art-deco style, made like a transatlantic boat...and many visual design make me think of the tricone design; specialy the grills included everywhere,........stunning to see. Many stars of the day went there, saddly the registers were lost, but when I walk trough the auditorium, I 've dreamed about Oscar Aleman, playing in Josephine Baker's band with his round neck tricone. A magical place: hotel-belvedere-cerbere.fr/ |

...includes the visual pun of the year - THE GUITAR SHAPED CHOPPER! The stairs are the best and most tasteful.  The rest, especially the chopper, the coffin and the toilets, are in very poor taste! I am still of the opinion that the best guitar shaped objects are guitars.  As much as I love guitars, I really don't need my car or house to be built like one. Good post, Mitchfit!

The line between good or bad taste can be very thin sometimes... But from a technicaly point of view that's a guitar:  (If my link doesn't work, i'm talkin about a guitar built from a toilet seat)
But some of us would prefer guitars made with just some bit of mother of the toilet seat...
I'm talking about the Custom Spanish neck, MOTS fingerboard. Serial number 1253 listed on this famous website: notecannons.com/index.html(In the style 4 section) My personal taste may be somewhat weird (I'm French, nobody's perfect!), but I really love this material; I have a tenor banjo and a uke banjo almost covered with this highly inflamable material (if your toilet seat is made of MOTS don't smoke in the Johns, believe me!). Got me an old Stella too with this white perloïd fret board...it's funny to see how nowadays perloïd is very neglected by luthiers, and how it was fancy in the thirties. To bring back more serious architectural details, by taking measurements on my tricone a friend told me that the Dopyera brothers have used the same mathematics formula based on "the gold number" like many geniuses along human history, Athen's acropole, Egyptian Pyramids, plaza San Marco and the sixtine chapel...even Stradivarius used this formula for drawing his violins; it may seems too mystical... I'm absoltely dumb in mathematics, but I can see how gracefull are the old Nationals instruments. Most of the Luthiers still use this traditional formula to enhance the best sound from a box, but not much in the guitar world since Leo Fender.

Your links are not working, I have tried to fix them but can't. The websites appear to be insecure and maybe not safe. When you post the link you must remove the word LINK. Shine On Michael |

vastopol,
as a kid still in high school, recall seeing Mariachis playing in Tijuana with hugiene guits. same well outside of the formula of stringed instruments referred to.
while having a noticeable boost in bass response, their volume didn't seem to be increased very much. think the Do-Bro(s) pretty much found the ultimate means of acoustic volume enhancement.
to date.
as far as bass enhancement mentioned above, the olde Altec Lansing voice of the theater formula was [IIRC] to get good bass replication a 15" speaker was needed with at least 3 cubic feet of enclosed air behind it.
yet today, i hear speakers the size of a Webster's Dictionary making good bass.
it's one of those things mankind has been pondering since the pyramids were built?
:^)

What'll really bake your noodle is that if you have Admin privileges, it's apparently possible to ban yourself (curiosity has never got the better of me!)
