Sounds to me like that first sample you posted ("riff.wav") might have been suffering from a problem with a mismatch between the piezo and whatever it was plugged into (amp? DI?). I reckon that instrument might have the possibility of better sounds. Even so, I think there's something interesting coming through. Also, really beautiful work on the soundboard of that 3-string. I'd love to hear that one.

Aluminium makes perfect sense as a neck material: Didn't Travis Bean and Kramer make aluminium-necked guitars that were known for having a good sound? And I believe EGC in Florida also makes aluminium guitars.

As for...

Maestro Burnus playing "Viva Vodka" on Whisky box guitar

I still can't tune Guitar Rig for better sound... With usual amp guitar have perfect voice. Amp in progress...

Video with true sound will be when me and maestro Burnus will go moped tripping.

This is spectacular. Who the hell cares if it is "technically" a cigar box. Very nice idea and build. You just gave me a great idea!
