Ngl a diy guitar kit looks like a fun project.
I’ve seen them on AliExpress. They likely sound and play like shit but that’s besides the point of the novelty of building your own functional guitar.
I saw a double-neck kit that I’m really considering as a gift for a friend of ours.
I don’t even play but I’d love to assemble a guitar.
I do play and I absolutely guarantee any guitar I would try assemble would play so so badly. Setting up a guitar is an exercise in precision engineering with wood.
an exercise in precision engineering with wood
With wood, an hilariously imprecise material (for anyone who doesn’t know). It refuses precision on principle first, and then just on occasion, at every opportunity later.
That delicious (infuriating) imprecision is probably why it can sound so frickin great, though, so…
Same ! This looks so satisfying !! Hope they have proper manual though… Not an outsourced Polish only image based manual… Uhhhg !
Gotta check the documentation
These kits do come with step by step manuals, but one of the reasons to get one in the first place is to modify it. It makes sense to figure out what each part does, instead of following a manual.
Challenge accepted!
I’ve rebuilt guitars before, don’t see any reason I can’t built one from scratch with all the proper parts.
Yeah? Try it with building wheel for wxPython apps for 10 arches.
You mean Gentoo or LSF?
Either is fine… more or less…
first you’ve gotta compile a planet with an atmosphere for the sound to travel through before even thinking about playing the guitar
You folks are living in the stone age. In the current millennium, plenty of consumer-grade pre-built planets are available.
All you have to do is occasionally spend your weekend debugging incompatibility of gravity and quantum layers.
hopefully they will add binaries into flatpak or something. i hate to compile gui apps
No, you gotta build everything from the big bang onwards.
Also, your rhythm and timings start from the moment of the Big Bang
No, that’s the recipe for apple pie.
Guitar hero on Linux
Guitarch, btw.
Missed opportunity: the body in the picture should have been for an arch-top guitar.
This is far too linear, where are my choices? There must be a fork of this body that is full of switches and got an included amplifier.
* Some parts are now sanctioned and cannot be distributed at the moment
Uuu, that’s a nice take, I like that.
Too bad it might not be a joke in the future.

It’s been available since 2006, works very well
Aww, I used to play this on my keyboard some 15 years ago. Fun times.
Man, I had Frets on Fire loaded with every song imaginable. I loved that shit.
I got Clone Hero recently and I love it, but my time with the ol’ hero games has passed.
These days I’d recommend Clone Hero
Or yarg which I’ve found runs better on weaker hardware.
> sudo make guitar
*ends up in dependency hell*
Where the hell did I leave my shark repellent?
> sudo make guitar
Oh no. Do not build guitar as root.
sudo make guitar
why my cursor gone?
The guitar binary has a dependency on the
curserpackage which is a deprecated version ofcursorwith an accidental misspelling. Running the make withsudoreplaced this at the system level. Best just to reinstall.Yeah, I tried to reboot, kernel’s gone
make && make install
Done.
Only five missing dependencies, ten configuration mistakes and three compiler errors to go.
Oooh! Better than usual!
I just wish someone was making half decent 3rd party hardware to use with Clone Hero thats NOT over $60.

I love this!
30$ if you assemble it yourself. 60$ if you don’t.
goodwill or other such type stores is the only option. or a garage sale with an unknowing seller
Me when I learn Clone Hero on Linux needs increased file limit to run without freezing:
Does Rocksmith 2014 remastered work on Linux?
It barely works on Windows.
That being said I’ve tried this with with success in the past.
Just google “apt repository for guitar model X” and you’ll find out someone has already assembled and packaged yours.
for Ubuntu 18.04.
