PersonalBox exist since 2013 ... on the basis of an instrument manufacturing workshop from recycled everyday objects.
Since that date we are constantly evolving to make cigarboxGuitar, stompbox, or battery from a dryer ...
we are therefore an eco-friendly group, against the planned obsolescence, all this by playing a Trash-blues or Dirty Blues Rock ... provided that groove! ...
Flea Market haul. The manequin body is going to be a double neck guitar with the necks coming out of the waist. Also there are 3 hockey sticks, childs wagon and wheelbarrow (for bodies), skull license plate, tennis rackets, 3 cigar boxes (25 cents each), cast skull pins, and other small odds and ends. All for $20.
I'm currently empolyed at some type of recycling facility and as such, I've access to loads of dumped audio electronics. Does it make sens to wade through these (Amplifiers? Where else?) to gather potentiometers?
Walking past a charity shop saw a pair horrible curtains ,the type that has large rings sewn in them,poped in got them for a couple of quid,They come in two parts metal one side and black plastic the other,so i now have 36 1 1/2" id holes .
Made with a broken neck from my grandson Miles attached to a $3 galvanized dogdish from Walmart, with a spline from a scrap of cherry wood and an oak bridge made from scraps from my father's basement.

Hi to all. Having a look around has reinspired me to find more broken junk and get busy.
My builds to date are mostly recycled, with strings tuners and pots being the exception ( I am over using worn out esentials )
