Five-Laser Pak for the Galaxy Guitar

Check out this masterpiece of backyard electronics in the wiring job to connect the lasers to a battery pack.  The medicine bottle will give you scale and you will see these things are tiny.



Is that a rubbish job or what (larfs).  The wires were already butchered for something else and this is an ugly attempt to connect them which, surprisingly enough, works.  It only looks like the ground wires are connected to the hot wires.  It's not really like that.

(Ed:  they are not grounded?)

Nope.  No chance I would get juiced by this little thing anyway.




This time it's sitting on the computer keyboard so maybe that shows better it won't be difficult to use a rubber band to secure them to the Galaxy Guitar.  They will fire along the plane of the head of the guitar so it will look like a laser machine gun.  It looks highly cool in smoke.  These ones won't make any patterns but rather each will fire a single continuous laser beam into the smoke.

The unit will look obscene in the attachment to the guitar but you won't see that in the dark or, at most, a silhouette.


Everything has been so ambitious lately, so maybe some jams without a huge plan ... with lasers ... would be could be cool for trips just because trippin' is a grand thing with electric guitars ... and lasers.

Somethin' still killin' me is I haven't really captured the twinkling of the stars on video.  A video of these lasers will be hugely focused on the guitar from multiple angles so hopefully that captures it twinkling.  It's not they're so rare but rather they're really hard to film.
