These are two Gibson SG's from Chris ballew, bassplayer from the Presidents of the United States Of America, who strings them up with two bass strings and plays through the neck pickup solely resulting in a very low-fi rubbery and cool bass sound.
Inspired by that I decided to give my TelePaul a similar make over.
As for why doing so. I'll be blunt, the TelePaul is a failure, I never got it to sound right and I never liked the feel of it, so I dismantled it and hung it on the wall. But after seeing footage of the Presidents I started thinking "Do I have a guitar I could use for that?" And the answer litterarly hung in front of my face on the wall.
As you can see I went with three strings because that gives me just a little more range they are tuned from low to high C-F-A# and because it has no bridge pickup it sounds rubbery and cool.
