MIDNIGHT GUITAR (and case!)

This is my Midnight Guitar! I love it, but it took a long time to get it finished. The pickups can be changed in less than a minute and the case has a built-in amplifier. I want to share my process and how it all happened.

Tante's Leaf Bass

Tante wanted a cool bass to learn some fun rock and funk basslines on, so we went halves on this 3/4 size bass from Artist Guitars for her birthday. The size suited her hands well, the price was good and the build quality was surprisingly nice. Very playable little bass.

Pianos resting

God bless all the old pianos resting
Creaking bones begun to splinter
Silent wood and tensioned strings
That high e flat that doesn't work

School halls and living rooms
Church annex at morning tea
Children's scribbles and pens lost in the lid
played diligently, musically, beautifully

Scary chords and counterpoints
Teacup stains and conversations
Lovers rapt in song together
accompanied with humble harmony

A hundred years, a million notes
Chords long out of fashion
Songs from old forgotten throats
Melodies of skill and passion

God bless all the old pianos resting
for only angels play them now
