Darkfire Robot Killer

Take a rather usless IRobot Darkfire, gut it and morph it with your favorite Les Paul Copy.

Henry don't like! How dare you make a cool looking, playable instrument out of one of his brain farts?

well done

now it will be a little more challenging to make some thing useful out of the FirebirdX

How Dare you make me consider sending you back to the factory.

Details, I guess, Need help on getting the piezo bridge pick up working, though not realy important but it IS there.

Well now it's actually worth owning. I take it you bought it used for just such a project?

Coldfire · 12-08-2011, 05:58 PM

No I bought it new, it failed on multiple events, I was considering sending it back then I had the brainwave. buy an Epipen and swap some bits over. But the eppipen was great and I didnt want to doit. but that still left me with the usless goodlokking Gibson under the bed. So yesterday with a carton of beer and some other performance enhacers we gave live saving surgery to the Gibbo. Had a few hickups with the six wires from the pickups. (spliced them together).
We give thanks to the totaly awsome little epiphone that has given its organs so the Gibsophone may live.

now about to do some drilling and routing to the epipen to retrofit the robot to it.
