Arty Farty Guitars is documenting the process of hacking an existing guitar into a guitar-hurdy-gurdy-hybrid in a seven-part series.
The project involves transforming a guitar into a Hurdy-Gurdy hybrid, combining elements of both instruments for a unique musical creation.
Challenges, failures, and adjustments are detailed throughout the series, with a focus on creating a mechanism to simultaneously crank the wheel and play the strings on the fretboard.
The project faces compatibility issues between the guitar fretting action and the wheel; adjustments lead to a unique instrument resembling a plectrum wheel guitar, showcasing the inventive spirit of the creator.
