buckethead的les paul

wocaotama

the neck has an ebony fingerboard and 24 frets
the pickups are DiMarzio of some sort

The kill switch/button is designed to momentarily cut off the guitar signal so it's silent for a second (or less)and is then pressed repeatedly to give a staccato effect (a stop/starty sound for non-musicians). They workin one of two ways, as far as I know....there could be more. I'm not sure which is Buckethead's way.

1) A normally closed button switch that's connected to the hot and the ground wires coming from the pickup -on press the pickup signal is instantly grounded hence the sound is "killed" whilst the button is pressed.  

2) A normally open button switch that's put as a break along the hot wire (black, I think) to the output jack. On press the signal is open so no current will pass along hence sound is momentarily "killed."

  I think 1) is the better way as the other may provide some noise on some guitars and isn't always compatible.
I suspect Buckethead's is most likely wired like that.  







Is the Star Wars Knob a volume or tone control?
I think it's more likely that the one volume knob is rewired for both pick ups, and the Star Wars pot is a tonerewired for both pickups. While he might not use his bridge pick-ups so much, I can't imagine he'd leave them without a volume control of any sort. What would be the point in putting the selector in? Similarily, I can't imagine he'd leave it with no tone control. I persoanlly hardly ever touch the tone controls, but sometimes they come in useful to add extra bite or soften the tone a bit. I imagine it's the same for other people.

What Gibson had to say about this Les Paul:
"As for the specifics on the guitar, you need to contact Buckethead. Please understand that we do not discuss the specifics of a customer's Custom Shop guitar with other people" They did say however that they hadn't seen the white metal hardware before,  so I assume it was custom made for him. (Thanks to crapmetal for that info)

这是buckethead自己custom的，如果不只一把，那么能用这琴的也只有2米以上的，这把琴比一般的LP要大一圈，一般的buckethead觉得太小了！！！

wocaotama

为了感觉一下KFC, 那个killerswith(结巴效果按键)已经买了个给自己的一把琴装上试试啦^9 结果...发现根本没人家那么有味道...唉~

梅山老怪

我只知道这琴也是个加长型的琴颈。

Possessed

我只知道他有两把白色gibson，1959 heavily modified, with all white hardware and covered DiMarzio pickups 和1969 heavily modified, all white hardware, killswitch, and uncovered DiMarzio pickups 。而且他的gibson是24品的，至于是不是大一圈我在找找相关资料，我怎么看都是比一般的大一圈的。至于jackson那是肯定大一圈。:)

手真大，恐怖

最近也准备装个KillSwich了 哈哈:)

竞霄

对于les paul 没有特别的需要没必要装KillSwich，通过3段拨档+音量钮可以做出KillSwich的效果。

一狼假寐

是啊~~·Randy~Zakk都这么干~~~保持G的本色~~又有KillSwich的效果

他也只是在JORDAN里把KILLSWITCH的牛比之处完全给发挥出来了 别的情况下还真不多

其实不对/.///buckethead演出时会有很多即兴的成分， 每次演出都不一样。。。jordan是用得挺多...nottingham lace 的结尾也用到了~很多现场版本的solo都会小用一番~
buckethead主要就是这个killswitch 加上octave whammy~哦， 还有大手

Noono

那个LP也是增大了的，访谈里有

headsome

没得卖 什么时候出个 签名款的 卡死 卡死 我就吧唉吧唉了^16

buckethead至少有2把不一样的les paul
一把是圆形的断音钮，在亲体的右下角，另一把是2个方形的断音钮，左上角和右下角都有。
但是gibson官网上的buckethead model是左上和右下角都有圆形断音钮，所以他可能有第三把
