Unusual DIY electric guitar

Hello, today you can learn about the manufacture of a very extraordinary musical instrument. In particular, electric guitars from ... Yes, you didn’t think of a shovel !!!
Unusual DIY electric guitar

According to the author: "Nobody has ever made electric guitars from shovels and have not shoved albums on them." Except, probably, the author himself.

So let's get started. To begin with, you will need a shovel, with a cuttings made of dense wood. The length of the handle should be in order to be enough for the length of the scale and, of course, on the head of the neck.

We can make the marking of the neck based on this picture, or find other short scales on the Internet.

And first, with a plane, create an even plane. On which, later, frets will be established.

Now we carefully draw the plane for the ring mechanics with a file.

This is followed by drilling holes for pegs. Preferably at the same distance from each other. And the diameters of the holes should correspond to the diameter of the shaft mechanics.

Further, the cutter displays the recesses for the back of the pegs.

Saws under the frets.

The next step is setting the frets. (All hardware can be purchased at the music store, or on the Internet).

Trying pegs. Now, because after varnishing it is more difficult to eliminate the consequences of an error.

Removing pegs and subsequent varnishing.

Next, we can see the marking of frets.

In the blade of the shovel, a recess is made for the humbucker (a sensor whose coils are connected out of phase to eliminate the background and all kinds of interference).

Again, holes for hardware are drilled in the blade. And for mounting electronics.

That's all.
