Finally, the Sortacaster! No cigar boxes involved, but it's 3 strings - GDG - and recycled. Sounds great. Body, fir mill rafter; neck, some old poplar with a piece of 1/2" carbon fiber for stiffness; pickguard is the Live Dead LP, Dark Star side. I can't stand Dark star; it looks better here than it ever sounded. Fretwire and pickup wire is new. I've had 61 years to not throw anything away, and it's finally panning out with the CBGs!

Oh, it is! Plays itself, which is good; I'm not much at guitar.
<< where did you get carbon fiber????>>
The hobby shop, model aircraft dep't. This piece was 1/2" wide, and as thick as my thin table saw blade, just long enough for two necks, but they had a wide variety of shapes and sizes. All kinds of handy-looking little hardware besides.
