This particular instrument is made from an urn.
Yes, really. An urn. With a flame scorched headstock.
This has beefy 62/48/36/26 gauge strings tuned to Low Taro (CFCF) which oddly balances out the warm, vintage response that humbucker provides.

I've just finished my latest build tonight - aaand I'm not sure if I like it. It's definitely pretty though. I'll get some beauty shots tomorrow when the lighting is better.

Build #028, not-so-creatively named "XVIII" - gold hardware, snakeoil pickup, four strings. I was surprised how much that slightly asymmetrical parallelogram of a cigar box threw me off but I still got a guitar out of it 🎸

Here's a small, sunlit quick clip of my first ever resonator build. There's no amp here. This is entirely acoustic, picked up by my lavalier mic and recorded on my smartphone.
I'll be handing over to its new owner tomorrow.

It's going to be a few days before I get parts to build more guitars - I'll probably just be watching rando YouTube videos while eating Thanksgiving leftovers until then

From last summer - build #017, "Of the Wolf"
It's not actually a cigar box. This was an old box used for measuring tools. The box art is public domain and was lasered on with other wolfish touches. A flat wound induction pickup is hidden under the wolf's throat 🐺

Sound clip of "Sonas", which is the previously posted baritone made from an urn. Signal is clean and straight into my Orange Crush and mic'd with Neewer levaliers. Tuned to open B, so there's a bit of mic clipping at the low end. And yeah, it's available.

Here's a custom build fresh of my workbench, #061 "La Resoña". This is my first ever resonator build made from a '76 Smith & Wesson mahogany box. I used a lighter gauge string set to let that resonator vibrate and tuned it to a very "traditional" GDGB 🎶🎸🎶

"Buzzsaw" is a coffin box build with a tele-style bridge and flame treated finish. The blade is from my workshop. Inside are steel bars for structure and sustain. Tuned to DADG. I may swap to locking tuners in the future.
I'm definitely keeping this one.
