They connect to iPhones and such via bluetooth (but I assume could be built to connect to your modded guitar if you asked). Not affiliated.

Those are interesting looking but I wouldn't consider it to be steam punk. It's just not industrial looking enough for me but very interesting

The knobs that guy chose to use totally kills the art deco thing he's trying to capture.

He should be using Bakelite stuff from Daka Ware--like what used to be standard equipment on antique radios and gas
stoves:

I agree old gas stove knobs would work or old water spigot knobs

Could buy a nice Strat at those prices and grab a couple of old Heathkits on e-bay with the change. :shock:

I agree it could look a bit more steam-punkish but still, that is just too cool 8) My girlfriend would love it. Maybe if I get her one it'll be enough to convince her to play her bass some more. :lol:

I wouldn't dare bringing it home to SWMBO - it looks like something that (a) needs frequent cleaning, and (b) requires caution and care when cleaning.
