It has been a while since I last posted on here, mostly due to that fact that I had exams this week and since then been all over the place. I am finally settling down.

I have decided to take on the minor but thoughtful hobby of "frankensteining" my electric guitar, as I like to call it. In more and more ways, I am beginning to enjoy doing things in a homemade way. Most of the music I have been listening to more recently is very raw and less produced feeling. For those who have been reading, I also discovered the are of steampunk, which is inspiring. I love to not spend money, and recently I had the idea of browsing ebay and looking for low priced nicer quality random parts for my guitar, regardless of if they naturally fit it. I think I am really going to enjoy tinkering with this. It seems they are continually coming out with new guitar models that resemble the destroyed personalized guitars of rock and roll legends, and I figure its cooler to have a personally personalized guitar that a copy of a personalized guitar.

I also recently got ahold of an old beat up Harmony hollow body guitar, and I am thinking about trying to do something with it as well. It's pretty beaten up, but I want to experiment with it, seeing and it is so beautiful and harmony guitars are really coming back into style in many areas. Well, this is nothing like the normal, but that's a great way to be, I'll try and keep ya updated...
