That's cool.
Wow! Nothing I could come up with could be this cool. That's just awesome.
dats da bees knees and a bucket of yum yums ;-)
Very cool.
Another vote of very cool! Super creative, especially the steel hoses to get the guitar shape.
Love that build, Kevin. Fantastic.
Sounds great, but not all parts are plumbing related, he used 3 "FS" type electrical boxes!!
Haven't made one, if I were going to, I still have some lead, would pour/cast something!! :}
The rules state that Heating and Air parts can be used. That covers electrical boxes. Plumbers and HVAC guys often have to use wood when doing their work.
Besides, what about strings, piezo's, pickups, pots and jacks? They're not Plumbing or HVAC parts are they?LOL
In my description I stated that I used electrical boxes. I also used wood, guitar tuners, guitar strings, and a magnetic humbucker pickup. None of which are plumbing related. If this disqualifies me from eligibility, then so be it. I had fun making it and I enjoy playing it!
No worries, I've been a plumber for 40+ years, just busting your....
I guess electrical and plumbing to mix well! Shocking!
