The Ripsnorter

The tail is an old strap hinge, spanner bridge (hardened - bugger to slot!), wing nut tone and vol controls, home made pickup surround cut from 22 gauge tin and the sprinkler parts out of some watering cans for soundhole covers. The covers and the pup cover were blow-torched and beaten to get rid of that horrible shiny chrome :o)
