The landfill guitars came to me in unplayable condition and are now decent, fun players.
I think fixing up broken guitars - especially free or cheap ones - is a close cousin to the CBG thing.

You should do it anyways. Every one's would be different. Love the video and the guitar. Have mine already built in my head. Need to find some time.
If you google "baseball bat guitar" and click "images," you'll see photos of John Fogerty playing his, and maybe another example or two. There's one pic of a guy playing a baseball bat violin.
Here's a pretty cool one you can see and hear:
Hey, JB. What a cool idea on the bat and Jeter tribute. Should have kept that a secret - someone else may beat you to it. I won't, but I do wish I had thought of I it. Man, so many possibilities on that idea.
Good on the uke idea ... maybe. For sure if it is cheap enough. If it's tiny, it is likely a soprano and for me at least, the frets are so close that they are hard to play. I love playing the next size up, the concert size. Man, in the key of C - they are easy to play.
Good idea. I, just this morning, saw one in the thrift store that would make a good ukulele. It was plastic, but not too bad. Was in there looking for a wooden baseball bat for the neck on my future Derek Jeter Trubute CBG.
Thanks, Jim. Yours came out great!
Unc > I concur 100% with your thoughts on landfill guitars, and I love yours! NICE job!
The old Tesco here was a freebie I scored on craigslist. After straightening the neck as much as I could, I just pulled out the worn-our frets, filled in the missing piece of fingerboard with a scrap from a wide, ol' yardstick, and made a new pick guard. Now it's my open D/E, Strat-style, 6 string slider! :D
Thanks, Wes. I enjoyed talking too.
