Gibson Les Paul Electric Guitar Transformed into a Synth by Sam Battle #MusicMonday

Awhile back one of our favorite music modders, Sam Battle, aka Look Mum No Computer, transformed a Gibson Les Paul into a guitar synth. And it’s lovely. Here’s the story from Look Mum No Computer:

i built this way back in 2010, it was my second ever electronics project spurred on by the want to play both guitar and keyboard in a band. I had the idea and it only seemed right to build it into my gibson les paul which at the time took me a long time to save up for. My dad reluctantly helped me route the back of the guitar out after i explained why it was a good idea. I dont think he was convinced but did the woodworking anyway! it was a scary 20 minutes that!.

See project!
