In my fav. haunt, I discovered a whole rack of aluminum channel ( 7/8s by 1 1/2 inches).... being sold by the pound it was super cheap (four 3 foot lengths less than $ 3), so I had to try to build a guitar on it....

format problem... I won't have time to sort it out until Friday.... the lastest one on YouTube is a much better looking and slightly better sounding. I'm looking for plastic endcaps for the Al channel to complete the look.
I've retro'd two bass tuners and the E and A strings from a bass set and this thing is WOW. A little sensitive to contact noise with the piezo, but I'm working on that....
THis afternoon, I built another on a guitar scale (24 1/2") and three strings (5-4-3) and it sounded terrible. The dimensions of the channel must be perfert for bass response... The next thing I"ll try is loading the first one with E/A bass strings....
