I've
been working with hammered metal lately on a few of my art projects. I
really like the curves that you can get out of it and the hammering is
quite therapeutic. I'm not sure exactly where I got the idea, but one
day it dawned on me that I could make a really nice archtop guitar out
of metal. But a guitar is big and the parts are expensive, especially
if you don't know if it's actually going to work. Then I remembered
that I had an old Ukulele that I made from a kit hanging around...
It's even electric! I installed a piezo pickup in the body. Plugged in it sounds like a really grungy electric guitar.
Music - shaken, not stirred.
I made this a few years ago and recently discovered it as I was doing some cleaning.
The guts are a M+S Paia stereo microphone kit, and the result of a trip to the liquor cabinet and plumbing section.
It can be yours for $50.
