the speaker cab is made from an antique 1930's vintage chest of drawers I found on the side of the road, I cut it up a tad to make it smaller, glued two of the drawers together and cut the hole for the speaker. The drawer frames are getting used to make fret boards out of The two tone neck is one of them aswell as the yellow git, I'm not sure what the timber is but it's a redish colour and has a tight grain so I guess it's a hardwood. Interesting cigar boxes are kind of hard to find in Australia but I do have one good source whom lives about 5 minute drive away (he works for a cigar company). I'm also thinking of using biscuit tins, cause I have a few nice old ones lying about, one of them has a paddle steamer/river scene on it that looks pretty neat.
