CAUTION .!!!!!! IF YOU FEEL THE NEED TO USE THIS METHOD OF WALL OUTLET JACK . DO NOT .. I REPEAT! - DO NOT JUST STICK A WALL PLUG ON A GUITAR CORD , !!! IF ANY CURIOUS PERSON OR CHILD TRIED TO PLUG IT INTO A REAL WALL OUTLET , IT WOULD MOST LIKELY RESULT IN DEATH . HENCE I MODIFIED A RUBBER PLUG CAP ON A REGULAR GUITAR CORD , AND A REGULAR GUITAR JACK THROUGH THE OUTLET TO ACHIEVE THE SAME LOOK , WITHOUT THE DANGER . EVEN IF IT WAS HARD WIRED IN , IT MAY NEED TO BE REPAIRED LATER AND SOMEONE MAY TAKE THE EASY METHOD .. SO DONT DO IT ! .
That being said , here is " urban decay " ,

the inner wall slats are cigar box sides and the neck stained .

top board is busted up and distressed white faced particle board to resemble drywall .

electric casing is painted plastic hose ;-)

thanx  rat  ,  yup ,  the  safety  concern  was  more-so   of the cord  itself  . if  one   were to wire  up   the  wall  plug as a  jack (essentially , that;s  what it  is  )  and  add a 3  prong   plug to  the  cord  to  fit  .. then     later   somebody  attempts to  plug  the  cord  into a wall socket  .  ala   poof!  

  but    yeah  ,  im  willing to  bet  someone  tries  a  usb  chahger   on the  "jack")  lol 

 or an amp  ;-)

this is awesome! Even without the outlet the guitar is super cool looking. 

Because a wall outlet is a female plug end there really is no way of charging this box. Be funny as hell to watch someone plug something into this and expect it to work. I bet the first thing someone plugs into this will be a phone charger. : )

thanx  man  .  i  sooooooo  wanted to  use  the  plug as a   a jack  ,  but  as  stated  ,, safty  prevails  .   instagram  ?  lol  i'm not  even  on  facebook  . (too  much  joining  stuff and  hassle)  but  , maybe some  day  , thanx for the  tip  .

Pick, have you considered posting your creations on Instagram? I think you would develop a large following in many different categories.

The cable-outlet idea deserves some kind of design award!
