thanks everyone for the kind words and advice. I'll do my best to salvage it because I like the look, but if I can't I'll just get another cone and try again.

if u dont have ur neck done yet, just go for 3 strings and i think u should be cool..
when it comes to stringing up take care to gradually apply the tension evenly, tune each string up a little rather than crank each fully in turn and i think u just may make it

Looks killer! Been thinkin' bout ordering a cone from Old Lowe too...

Just have to finish the neck (frets, etc.) then string it up and see what happens. Probably be ordering another cone, so get spinnin' Mike!

WOW!
I would string it up and see if it works you can always add a new cone to this guitar if it doesn't
My guess is it will rip I see a few cracks that are in a bad spot.
And yes the cones are thinner than a beer can.
I did not know about the amonia fumes nice look tho!
Hope it works cause it sure looks neat!

Just like you said , "play it first" . It could very well be the "elusive sound" people have been searching for . Myself . I would just continue on and build/play it . You might be surprised when everyone "want's one" !
