If you're playing in a band that's as innovative and out there as Hella, you're going to need a guitar that's equally as crazy! Picking up where we left off last week with Spencer, we take a look at what might be the world's weirdest, strangest, guitar. Plenty of knobs, switches and even a built in egg shaker? Spencer takes us through his history with the instrument and more.

That's one of the most aesthetically pleasing guitars I've ever seen. Plus the beard burst is fucking hysterical.

@chasmenear7130 3 года назад

I experimented with multiple outputs at some juncture in the 80's, but never pondered the egg shaker feature! Awesome!

@orcabrain 6 лет назад

This is the greatest weird guitar thing I’ve seen probably. You’ve truly outdone yourselves.

@VocasoGK 6 лет назад

That's literally a singlecut bass guitar with guitar strings. Awesome!

@oldheartrecords6996 6 лет назад

Didn’t even get to hear the nut pick up.....

@saftovooey4569 5 лет назад

that was the main thing I wanted to hear!

@TheTylrBllmn 4 года назад

I've heard that Zappa had similar things in his guitar and have always wanted to hear what sorts of wonky harmonies result... I hope to put a pickup around the 12th fret inside the neck of a guitar someday too...

@scareware 6 лет назад

I've been waiting for this video since 2005. Obsessed over the scott french website too. Thank you.

@Akira1296 6 лет назад

What a great interview and rig breakdown of Spencer, thanks for this! You guys are my favorite pedal duo, and if you got Omar on the show having a noise-off with Nick you will have fulfilled a deep musical fantasy for me.

@joshmiller166 6 лет назад

This is literally the craziest guitar. So weirdly innovative and yet the guy is fucking rocking the plywood franken-guitar. What a legend.

@joshmiller166 6 лет назад

James Blair Yeah I just said that because of all of the small functions that were added aswell as the fact that it uses plywood, which most "pure" guitarists are against. Didn't want to spark controversy, I just thought it was cool.

@TheEMOkid66613 6 лет назад

Vox Ultrasonic XII wins for me. Built in G tuner, distortion, delay, has a built in palm wah pedal, and it’s a twelves stein with a Tremelo arm.

@TheLocalZeroChannel 6 лет назад

Just looking at it, i didn't think it would actually be the weirdest guitar in the world, but it is kinda pretty damn weird.

@aschen 6 лет назад

So that's what an Abasi Tele would look like

@NeutralDepth 6 лет назад

I honestly thought it was an Abasi Tele

@gooseabuse 4 года назад

This was prophetic as Abasi Tele's are a thing now

@patrickobdewllx9870 5 лет назад

I've always remembered seeing him play that guitar live and seeing what looked like some sort of faint design on the thing. It looked like little yellow or black lines. I couldn't make it out and definitely didn't think hair haha. That beard burst is genius! So stoked on this video!

@user-ellievator 6 лет назад

I like the beardburst finish.

@ChrisJ318 6 лет назад

Holy fuck Spencer Seim out of fucking nowhere PS BRING HELLA BACK

@laughorgomad 6 лет назад

@analyticequals 6 лет назад

So many questions answered, but so many more questioned risen. Thank you pedals and effects, thank you Mr. Seim. And to Mr. French come back!!!

@watcherofthemundane 5 лет назад

This dude's pants are way too tight. That can't be comfortable. The guitar ain't the only thing hiding egg shakers

@fuzzywumble 6 лет назад

the hair alone makes it the weirdest guitar lmao pretty cool tho

@kazumaslave 6 лет назад

Absolutely loving these interview rig rundown videos guys; this guitar blew my mind.

@CaptainGalacticMusic 6 лет назад

I wanted to hear the nut pickup in action! I always play electric without an amp and I'm curious to hear what that dissonant effect would sound like amplified.

@ZeugmaP 6 лет назад

What about the nut pickup ?!! Nonetheless, that was really fun

@philz_corsia 4 года назад

spencer seim, nick reinhart and juan alderete in one room. thats the craziest thing the internet has brought us

@jasonstallworth 5 лет назад

Dudes, I felt like I was in the room hanging out with you guys! I do like being able to see where I’m at on the fretboard when it’s darker...it’s easy to get lost!

@VincentSebastianMusic 6 лет назад

I'd love to hear the individual strings sent to their own distorted amps. You would get some crazy sounding chords.

@z1reticuli 3 года назад

This is how you approach the prepared guitar idea in a right way!

@rabokel 6 лет назад

Very creative build. I love it

@onesyphorus 3 года назад

14:56 that sounds a lot like the sway in the morning door closing sound effect

@citrusavenue13 6 лет назад

no homo, but spencer is packing that heat at 4:10

@tonytaurus3676 5 лет назад

Showing off that egg shaker.

@javiceres Год назад

It must be a terrific sonic experience in the room

@mggtmthr Год назад

at 18:58 you can see the track names for Trash Generator by Tera Melos on the white board.

@plume... Год назад

Two of my favourite guitarists having a chat! I remember seeing Tera Melos live in Cardiff years ago, I was wearing a Tera Melos "ZOO" shirt when I thanked Nick after the gig for an amazing performance (They had finished playing and immediately run down to the merch stands to sell shirts!!), and he said "Thanks man... Ooh, that's an expensive shirt to get imported dude!". Only cost me 25 quid but still :) Love you Nick, please come to Cardiff again, and bring Tricot as your support :)

@misterbuckethead 6 лет назад

i really want a guitar with a contact mic + egg shaker now

@jonnda 6 лет назад

If you think this is weird, check out the axes made by Teisco and the Italian accordion brands in the 60s.

@AndyvanderRaadt1 6 лет назад

I would have loved to hear this mic'd/panned stereo. Wild.

@domokornmusic 6 лет назад

Peter Taylor at Chellee Guitars does some weird cool things in his work. Did a whole guitar wired with fiber optic lights, looked like stars all throughout the top. Best guitars I've ever gotten to play.

@benjaminsantiagosstuff 6 лет назад

@Chig__Bungus 6 лет назад

Benjamin Santiago's Stuff yes

@drippinglass 6 лет назад

Is that the muller shirt guy? He needs a lipa fuzz.

@SweetSpotGuitar 6 лет назад

I remember visiting Scott French's site a lot many years ago, and I remember this thing--esp. the "Beardburst." :) French is such a great builder. I LOVE his designs.

@SeanPierceJohnson 6 лет назад

Fucking Hella man! I remember seeing this guitar in person at a Hella gig at the Echo in like 2005 or 2006. Always LOVED this guitar. So much more in it than I originally expected. So cool to see!

@DoomedMoviethon 6 лет назад

Can we get a special episode of Pedals and Effects, maybe a two-parter, with Nick's favorite guitars and Juan's favorite basses?

@millerperrigo7678 5 лет назад

MUSEUM OF JURASSIC TECHNOLOGY!!!! I've been going there for 20 years. Way to put the "muse" in museum.

@charizardoystersauce 6 лет назад

Oh wow so awesome thanks y’all! This video is sick, we need to see a Tera Melos/Hella collab soon! That being said check out the new Tera Melos Documentary Trailer!

@flatfingertuning727 6 лет назад

At least when using humbuckers, it's possible to split the bass and treble strings by using soft steel bars to selectively "mute" strings on a pickup. My guitars mute the top four strings on the bridge humbucker, and are then wired to allow the balance between the bass-string humbucker and the everything-else pickups.

@lucaszembrzuski 6 лет назад

I actually like the shape of this guitar alot, maybe a different color, and pickups ;)

@heylookitsn0ah 6 лет назад

what was he playing at 17:26 ? that 4 seconds sounded rad!

@droleheart 6 лет назад

What is the song from Church Gone Wild that Nick mention it on 20:17?

@Pthaloblue2 6 лет назад

15:23 those sound like cartoon sound effects

@djtourtellotte 2 года назад

I know it’s been 4 years but you didn’t play the nut pickup - do over???

@NikkoWhitworth 6 лет назад

If Scott French isn't doing custom builds much anymore (sez his website), who am I gonna get to build me an instrument with one of those nut pickups? I've been wanting to try this ever since checking out the double bassist Mark Dresser. Check him out if you wanna see some who has taken the amplification of both sides of the string to the next level!

@pipn9090 6 лет назад

i’m sure a luthier could install one for ya

@401ja 6 лет назад

My guess is it's an under-saddle acoustic guitar pickup cut down and fit under the nut. The wire would then have to run through the neck and into the electronics cavity. This is probably done alongside the fiber optics in a channel underneath the fingerboard parallel to the truss rod.

@danielbell4007 6 лет назад

There are other companies that put a piezo under the nut. I’m drawing a blank at the moment, but it’s an option that’s out there.

@urbanwikstrom9246 6 лет назад

That is totally insane! I love it. Thanks!

@danieloux 5 лет назад

I need one of those asap!

@CAKmusic 6 лет назад

Fuck yeah Hella baby yeah

@401ja 6 лет назад

the individual string outputs remind me of 1970s Bartolini Hi-A hexaphonic pickups

@MosheAlvarez 6 лет назад

This is a design based on a contrabass (6 string) by Anthony Jackson

@peyotepete6532 6 лет назад

I thought it was a lap steel at first glance. Very cool though and very unique

@porotchy Год назад

Ir looks like my first time using the pen tool on Adobe Illustrator to draw a guitar body.

@philippr6107 2 года назад

It's like "mhm this guitar doesn't seem weird, if he just had him rebuilt his old guitar with slightly different body" and then you enter the rabbit hole and it goes down deeep

@daniels1293 6 лет назад

my dadhas one of those bently series 10 super strats with the crackle finish from the 80's those series 10's were decent guitars
