My mate's doing a sound engineering and production degree and just built this beauty! It has 16 fully functioning correctly aligned frets, a smooth C-shape neck and last but not least, a QUALITY street tin as a resonator!

I was really impressed!

I really need to hear its voice

This seems like something McGiver would make if his equipment doesn't show up at the gig. I wonder if it sounds 'tinny'

Any chance to hear how it sounds?

Yeah some samples would be cool indeed It looks very interesting, kinda resembles to banjo

He will actually be installing a pick up at some point so there will be samples!

I think the main part of his project is to use different recording techniques to best capture the true tonal qualities of the instrument, so there should be lots of recordings.

I'll upload one when he sends it to me.

Wow. A guitar made out of a sweet box. The sound must be really sweet then.
Share a video, please!
