Podcast 387: Uberfrank Guitars and Daniel Marcus Clark

A little over a month ago, UK guitarmaker Richard Waddell
(Uberfrank Guitars) shared photos of his latest creation to
Instagram: an electric baritone guitar built for musician and
friend Daniel Marcus Clark. This wild instrument - featuring a
unique offset body, a Charlie Christian pickup in the neck, a
three-pole bass pickup, dual outputs, a built-in capo system, and
even a secret compartment in the pickguard - made guitarists
around the world take notice.

On this week's Fretboard Journal Podcast, we talk to Richard and
Daniel about their collaboration. We discuss the original
inspiration for the body's shape (a vintage Coral Hornet),
Daniel's unique live rig, the unlikely hinge that made the secret
compartment work, the ideas that didn't make it in to the
finished guitar, plus a lot more.

Daniel Marcus Clark's new album, 'I've been thinking,' is
available now on Bandcamp if you want to hear this guitar (and
musician) in action. https://danielmarcusclark.bandcamp.com
