thanks man!

that guitar NEVER gets used.. i'm really happy with my cigar box guitar..
i need to get my hands on more coil pickups though because i really miss the ability to use effects pedals..

or maybe i should just try effects pedals anyhow, with my piezo guitars..?

anyways, thanks!
Try everything.

i used an old single coil and a jack. i grounded the metal bridge, but that's it. volume knob is not needed.

here's the guitar:
at 1:25 i play it clean tone
at 1:45 i add some awesome overdrive



hope this helps!

Oh, man, you don't need anything from me; I'm nobody special. The sound coming out of that thing is awesome no matter what anyone says. I love how it looks like it was sort of just stapled together but then you can plug it in and rip that killer tone out of it. Fantastic work.
