no idea what i should use for the board though? are types of wood better for sound?

so anyone got any sweet pics of stuff they've made? ghetto the better i say!

all help appreciated peeps!

use a cigar box.. you probably want the bridge pickup also, more a twangy sound.. and any tuning peg would probably work man

great thanks man!

anything else i can use for the box?

anything thats hollow man, go hit the flea market.. anything that has a flat surface and youll be able to make pretty nice with that pick up. if you look around theres a lot of people making banjo's and stuff out of old gas cans on youtube, looks really good.. worth checking out

so i don't need wood per say then? kool

I was recommended a low E metal string. good advice yeah?

thinking this for the box http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-Collectable-Ritmeester-Half-Corona-Cigar-Box-/321124689658?pt=UK_Collectables_Tobacciana_Smoking_LE&hash=item4ac485e6fa

import from the US is a bitch

EDIT: went for this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CIGAR-BOX-PUNCH-GRAND-CRU-/190837961939?pt=UK_Collectables_Tobacciana_Smoking_LE&hash=item2c6ed434d3&autorefresh=true

thats awesome... but yeah low E would work.. but maybe even a bass string would do well

thanks man, i'm gonna play around with it a bit when i get the bits n bobs, almost forgot to get the jack input socket.

I've got a brass tube to slide. any other cool things make good noise?

my neighbours are gonna love me!

I'll post up as I go. i've been looking at cedar for the fret. hope it all comes by the weekend.
