No photos yet but my 4th homemade guitar is in the works. I'm trying to make it mostly from found or re-purposed items. I bought an old trailer at a yard sale couple of years ago and it had a 1994 Florida license plate on it so I'm using that as the basis of my new box. I'm making my own box out of a piece of red Western cedar that was left over from repairing some siding on my house. The neck is a piece of red oak left over from rebuilding a park bench and the fret board is a length of an old yard stick from a long out of business hardware store. It is 25" scale and 20 frets which are made from finishing nails. I also cut a scarf joint and dropped the headstock. Not sure what I'll use for a pickup, magnetic or piezo. It will be 3 strings and probably tuned to an open G. And, I found a piece of broken fencing today that is pretty thin. I'll probably use it for a couple of future fret boards. This is FUN!
