Awesome, a build post I can participate in....hehe. 

I built this last year and had been wanting to build a coffin guitar for many years. This build to me was kind of a challenge in a sense trying to get the right look design to the coffin shape. 

I don't have a lot of written details on it except its made from pallet wood, and most is about 3/8-1/2" thick.

The neck is Maple with what I believe is a light Sapelle wood fretboard. 

The Grim Reaper is burnt into the top to which it was a shadow image I found when googling reaper images. I had also burnt in coffins for the fretmarkers for the 3, 5, 7, 9, 12 potions.

I added a hardtail bridge and also installed a prewired pickup kit. with tone and volume. I plan on making more just need to refine my patterns. but it ended up turning out awesome.

Very nice... that's my kind of build!  Is the box hollow, or more or less solid?

The box is pretty much hollow. Not a lot of room. But overall the weight of it's not too bad. I would compare weight to a bass guitar possibly. Thanks!!

I am not sure why the photos did not come up. I'll see if I can make adjustments.
