Candy Axe

I won't say what it cost because it is debateable what should count and what should not count.

Top to bottom parts and prices

Neck- Axe handle – free damaged head from a mis-strike into a splitting wedge
(wrecked by he who will not be named)

Nut = sheet metal screw left over from downspout repair- $0.10 if counted

Machine head tuner – free off a land fill save

String - left over, so free, but out of a $3.00 pack so you could call it $.50

Candy tin- Free -given back to me from a Christmas gift to my mom.

20 mm piezo – new $1.25 (cost from Gitty in a bag of 12)

standard mono jack $1.23 new -this one on hand - salvaged off a flop build

saddle = sheet metal screw left over from downspout repair -cost new= $0.10 if

2 tiny washers: on hand, but cost new = $0.10

3 wood screws – on hand, but cost new = $0.15

Not so bad, Frog.  A candy tin, handle and tuner.  :)

Thanks Obsidian.  I got it working.   And gave it away.

So what was the total build price?  It's got great character regardless.  I'm not sure where the jack is shorting but anything can insulate, a piece of cardboard, wood, duct tape. RTV silicone.

Yeah, Dave.  I tried that with Doritos.  Awful.
