My pal gave me a gourd with a long straight stem. It seems perfect for a stringed instrument. All I'd need to do is put a fretboard and bridge on it, and then some tuners and a sound hole. Look
HERE to see another gourd I turned into a guitar. The unique feature on this new gourd would be the ability to incorporate it's own stem into the guitar's neck.
It may not be big enough for a 6-stringer, but I could probably get 3 on it. That's enough to make chords. It's just another project to throw onto my to-do list. Maybe it'll show up here sooner than later. It seems easy and fun so maybe I'll put other things aside to work on it.
Snort!
KW: My man, you are a freak of good ideas.

ReplyDeleteokay, I'm happy. :)
But Keith, if not a stringed mandogourd.... it would make a heck of a hookah.... not that I know anything about that/those
Thanks for the comment, pal
ReplyDeleteI hope to be rich enough one day to commission a guitar of some sort from you.....those you've made are just too cool!!
ReplyDeleteha ha! i guess i can keep the price in the realm of humanity
ReplyDeletekeith, cant wait to see what you do with this gourd! i must say that the thumbnail that i saw on my blogger dashboard (the top image) looked quite scary and phallic. i think the color of the couch has something to do with it...
ReplyDeleteI agree with Brad. That first photo looks vaguely pornographic. I'm not exactly sure what it looks like, but it looks like something I shouldn't be looking at.
