My first attempt at a guitar build. a 'prototype' if you will, for the Hubcap, which came out 100 times nicer than this one. This one uses a steel dog bowl as a resonator, and a Squier neck. single coil Ibanez pickup makes it squeal. 2x4's for body sides and 1/4 inch plywood for top and bottom make it a serious heavyweight. Gets lotsa laughs from lotsa folks in public. Definitely worth the experience.

Thank you sir. Haha as for the laughing, it's totally in a good way. People are totally blown away by the plywood box that sounds like a guitar. I oughtta post a picture of it in it's current incarnation, with homebuilt Bigsby style tremolo and built in amp.
Let them laugh, Chris. Too many people are fixed on the myth that to be a real guitar, it must follow the confines of a factory-made replica of the other 100 made that day on a CNC machine.
In my opinion, the hand made guitars that we make will out shine those other clones in the long run. Keep on keepin' on...
