[Papa Dave]

I thought that I would share this with you guy's. A co-worker brought this into work with him and told me that a family member of his made it for him.

This is why I pick up broken guitars off my neighbors' curb. Parts for these Frankenstein pieces. Excellent.

The fret layout seems more dulcimerish. Pretty cool! How long it is? It looks like it is 5 feet tall...

It's 31" inches from the bottom of the soup can to the top of the head stock.

incoming nitpick... that isn't soup.


with that said, i need to start collecting parts so I can make things like this. I'd really like to make a cigar box uke someday but i'm too lazy to actually make a neck and saddle etc myself. but i'm not too lazy to glue/bolt/screw things to a box!
