  • 3 string sliding scale guitar (Resistance is futile)
    Built for the Mac Giver challenge, 2011

    Mac is trapped in the john backstage at the Filmore (work with me here OK?).

    All he has to work with are items you could find in a bathroom.

    Neck, double scarf joint, clothes rod, covered in Nat'nl Geographic text and images (June '96),
    Nut is a door latch plate, tuners from scrap dowels. "Bling" is a drain cover and a metal shower curtain holder.
    Sides and innards from reclaimed wine box wood, painted with house paint.
    Tailpiece from a metal towel hanger, bridge from old bolts, nuts, scrap plywood and window shade brackets.
    Volume knob from an broken night light (left at the woodshop! AArgh!).
    Pickup, wallwart (thenks Mr. RandomWriting and others) pickup cover from a medicine bottle.
    Output and volume ferrule from floss tin, pots and wire from an old radio (didn't work, used junk drawer pot and output).
    Body from an old bathroom scale (note, it goes to 11!).

    This has been a blast, I vote to keep this thread alive!

    Thanks,
    PRH
