The WWI Ammo Guitar

Favorite one yet!
Found the WWI ammo box at an antique place and got to work on it.
This one has an end pin jack to fit thru the thick wood, P90 pickups, volume and tone with 3 way switch
223 and 7.62 shells for fret markers

Thanks!  This one sounds great with the P90's, i'll record a video of it soon

the box was kind of expensive but completely worth it

I had the teisco tailpiece around, found an old brass bridge its heavy made in germany, P90 pickups in humbucker shape

I might hunt down some more worn shells for the volume/tone knobs
