from a google image search it seems the predominant colour is blue. what sort of box are you going to use? you could print out some pics and use a pva/water mix to decorate the box? bottle caps on the knobs sounds like a good start..

Thanks guys, this gives me a good start.  Yes he wants Bud Light not Budweiser which is mainly blue, I have almost 80 cigar boxes so I have a big variety to pick from to use for this.

I thought about using a Bud Light tin sign and put it on top of a cigar box like a license plate but not finding many Bud Light, found tons of Budweiser but not Bud Light.  I thought about printing some things on water decal paper and putting it over some of my plain boxes maybe.

Thanks everyone for the ideas.

you could open out some cans? cut top and bottom off slit it down the back and flatten it out?

I saw miniature beer bottle smoking pipes on e-bay. I got one, carlsberg :\ came instead of the one I ordered but it didn't matter, sticky paper lable over metal shape. It crews in half and reattached to make the pipe. Anywhoo..

It is small, perhaps 6cm with a 1cm diameter. I plan on using it as a bridge. It's pretty cool. I'm sure you can find a bud one.

You could also bend two caps together to fit over the tuning peg knobs. :)

Get a case of Bud Light. Drink one. Pour the rest, except for one, into a big pot. Add kidney beans, tomato sauce, tomato paste, beef cubes, and sliced onions. Season to taste. Simmer for a coupla hours. While that's cooking, drink the last beer. Take all the empty cans, and one by one in the driveway, smash them flat by running over them with your car. Take all the flattened cans, and attach them to a cigar box. Add a neck, some strings, etc. give it to your friend, but only after accepting a case of actual beer from him. Pop open a couple with him, and enjoy your fret buzz, while eating the chili, and admiring your handiwork. Sing badly while he plays.

Build a box. Paint it "Bud Light Blue. Add some beer can top sound holes. Take a bottle of Bud Lights and soak it to remove the label. Paste it in the center of the box. Use a couple of bottle caps for the knobs. If you wanna get fancy, remove a few more labels and decoupage them on the fretboard.

When you're all done, open a real beer, like Heineken and enjoy!
