At 45°, this is by far the steepest angle I’ve ever designed for a custom Nu Multi! (Aside: Oh and, yes, I still make drawings by hand now and then! Aided by CAD, of course 🙂 ) More importantly, this non-skewed design is what I will recommend from now on. It just works well, and …
Dual GK-13? This one is a custom project for Reto Byell’s 8-string guitar. He utilizes two Axon NGC 66 neural midi guitar controller synth along with two Roland VG99s. The first 4 channels go to the GK-13 pin connector at the back, while the other 4 channels go to the GK-13 pin connector at the …
Here are some close-up pictures of the guitar after installing the full Nu-XR system. It was a joy installing the electronics for this guitar. This non-traditional guitar has no cavities at all. It’s just a full wide open space for the components and wiring. I think this is the easiest installation I’ve ever done. Every inch of this guitar is a RADICAL declaration.
Pictures paint a thousand words. Watch this space…

I love Ibanez Jems. I have two. Well, actually I got one, more than 10 years ago, but my wife loves Steve Vai so much that she wanted one herself, so I had to get two. Now here’s an interesting Jem build from Erik Phariss with the XR pickups. Erik graciously allowed me to quote …
One of the most frequently asked questions is how to connect the Nu Multi to Roland gear. There are many ways to do it, from the simplest to the most elaborate, but at the very least, it’s as simple as connecting channels 1-6, ground and V+ to their counterpart connections on the GK-3. You do not …
We’ve already worked on a few projects before, using Nu on the acoustic guitar. For such purposes, it makes sense to mount the Nu near the fretboard since you typically do not aggressively bend the strings, like you do with electrics, and so there is no lateral string displacement to worry about that can compromise …
So, it’s been a common question: Will there be a Nu v2 combo like the Nu-XR combo we had before? Well, I’m sorry but it won’t happen, at least not in the near future. Perhaps we can offer a Nu-Modula combo, but it’s too early to tell. Moreover, my thinking now is that it’s best to …
halldorophones Here’s a very interesting musical instrument. A project of Halldór Úlfarsson, the halldorophone utilizes feedback to generate harmonically rich drones from six strings, with individual Nu Capsules. According to Halldór, the Nu capsules be the “official” pickups for these unique instruments. Follow this link: about (the Halldorophone) Halldorophones are purpose built electro acoustic string instrument, based …
This LTD SC-208 began life as an entry level 8-string for those interested in dipping their toe in the “deep end”. The stock setup included passive humbuckers, a 3-way selector, master volume and tone control. By converting to a Flex Set the switching options expanded from 3 to 5, the frequency response was greatly extended, and the …
