Mrs.Cicero Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Also, I've got all the stuff to make that ammo box guitar, and I'll bet I can convince the husband to make it for me... (Course then I have to learn to play it!) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minervadoe Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 That guitar sounds a lot better than I thought it was going to. That looks like a guitar shop to me. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I'll easily watch the prison shows on tv. One documentary showed a guy that made electric guitars 100% from trash. (he was allowed to have all the stuff). Classic guitar style bodies made from cardboard-box paper mache. He wound his own coils, pickups, transformers. Scraps from pallets. They sounded magnificent and he was an accomplished player. He traded them for ramen, and twinkies, smokes, and stuff. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband (not in prison, yet, anyway) has made a few cigar box guitars. (He plays the mandolin, instead. I have no idea why, although I admit I do like it). I have one of the cigar box 3 strings next to my sewing machine but other people keep walking away with the amp... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minervadoe Posted April 19, 2022 Share Posted April 19, 2022 So, is it box guitars, or Skynrd that leads you to your happy place? I saw them at Winterland in 1976. But this Mussel Shoals version of their music was a real surprise to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My happy place is Skynard, and Justin Johnson playing just about anything with strings... that ammo box just cracks me up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
