The ultimate Steampunk Guitar

While I'm at it another Video of a quite impressive guitar made pretty much entirely from brass.
It doesn't sound as impressive as it looks though.

Chinese Farmer Makes his own instruments

Gian Useng (Spelling?)  is a genius in my opinion he has made some pretty wacky stuff. all out of free and recycled materials.
I love the fact that his neighbors pop around for a jam. What I love even more is the singer is singing into an unplugged microphone.
I would like to see a more detailed report on his instruments.

Newly completed 6 String Cigar Box

Here is my latest finished guitar
It's a 6 string guitar box guitar now I don't want to be known for making cigar box guitars particularly but there is something about them that is Highly appealing.

 

The humbucker and lipstick single coil have been selected to give a wide variety of tone and to retain that raw authentic old style blues sound

After much umming and arring I decided to mount the Telecaster control plate on top of the box.

 

I thought it would be fun to make the headstock look like a snapped bit of wood.

Although all of the parts are re-used they are pretty much in as new condition.

Kay k-2b Bass

Here more for posterity than anything else as I have just sold it, is a Late  60's  Early 70's Kay K-2b Shortscale Bass, Made In Japan.
It's in pretty poor cosmetic condition but it all works and doesn't sound too bad.
It is made entirely from laminate wood. even the neck which I'm not sure is too common but I actually quite like the idea it actually looks pretty nice and I would have thought it's got to be pretty tough.
Any how heres the pics. (Click for larger Images)

Truly Beautiful

I think This is possibly one of the most beautiful guitars I have ever seen.





It's made by a Guy called Joe Till who I stumbled across whilst browsing Etsy.
I wish the one above had a neck like this one though.



If I had the money I certainly would have one of these beautys.
