I cleaned up an old Underwood that had been sitting in a barn for the last twenty years, recycled some old crib frame alder into a support base and added four bottom E strings. Steampunked it up a bit and added a CB Gitty disc piezo that I mounted inside a bottle cap with hot glue and attached to the wood frame. Lots of crazy sounds when run through my guitar effects chain. It actually has some very cool resonance due to all the metal parts.
