    I was just wondering, if anyone has done any enhansments to this project by adding some DIY effects to the guitar itself.
    Maybe adding a distortion filter to the internals.
    I’ll have to add this to the list.

    Also, be sure to check out John Park’s banjo construction on Make: television, and Ed Vogel’s incredible combo, including the Display Case Bass. http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2009/03/maker_workshop_cigar_box_guitar_on.html

    Cool! I’ve got scheme for building such guitar! :)

    In the meanwhile, I suggest you check out my webcam guitar lessons program. I feel that you or anybody interested could benefit a lot from it :)
