lol. If you do I want to see it.

I don't know much at all about electric guitar companies that could customize something but i know how they work.

If you have a spare violin laying around (lol)... then i could help you mod it.

they're all over ebay seriously

but honestly i wouldn't recommend it, if you want to amplify an acoustic violin, buy a good violin pickup or a nice mic for it and run that to an amp, the tone will be 100 times better

 Just get a pre amp and a 57 mic or a Rode nt1a to mic your acoustic violin =D

 If you want more help with the equipment just pm me as i have a few links for what you exactly need.

okay, but you dont have to modify it to mic it just so you know

but anyway, yeah they don't tend to be a local thing but searching in ebay reveals plenty of results, and other online stores

Thought id mention these guys whilst the thread is going....

Really spectacular stuff, all with that sort of instrument through distortion and pedals, save for the drums of course,  i particularly like the palm muted rhythm guitar style sounds the cellist gets
