Thanks for your kind comments,
I think I'm going to roll out a few and call them BigBog Cigar Box Guitars.
I did kinda rush this one a little, but it's turned out exactly how I wanted it to "RAW".
If I could Play then I'd post a video, I'm going to refine the pegs, they look authentic but they just simply don't work when trying to tune it. Looks like i'm going to revert to banjo machine heads with a little modification to the headstock.
The Bridge idea came from Sea Sick Steve's CBG I saw it on TV. One issue with this spatula thing is that I bent countless screws and bradals trying to prevent the drill from skating all over the place, (have learned to ingrave now tho' with an electric drill) broke two metal drill bits and made another two masonary bits glow trying to drill the mounting holes, so probably best to invest in a proper centre punch and a stainless steel drill bit. Just some handy hints to you all.
It is electric.

Very ingenious use of a frying spatula for a combined bridge and tailpiece. Looks great - how does it sound ?
Is it electricified or purely acoustic ? It gives me an idea for a kitchen-themed instrument. Great work !
