Okay, It's done and sounds surprisingly good! Cost me around fifty bucks to build it.
GFS Humbucker, $10 bridge from CB Gitty I had the pots laying around my shop. The neck is from an old Stinger guitar that I picked up at the Martin Guitar factory in the late 80's. Gotta have the Hog Nose knobs. It's rock solid and stays in tune too.

Thought it would sound like crap but it doesn't . :lol:

If only you could've worked a trem bridge into the mix and used a toilet handle as a wanker bar......

That is fantastic! Love the name, and the humorous comments. :lol:

You should play "Wipe Out" on it. :lol:

Surpo...I just don't know what to say about that guitar...except maybe you should go into business and call your company "Shitar", with your first models name being the Crap-o-caster!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

It's also cool that the "stinger" logo is very close to "stinker". Maybe a new, custom decal is in order?

That's some cool crap. That definitely doesn't stink. Neat how the neck is flush with the body. You really do need a stool to play it.

All pun aside, very nice job.

Whoda guessed it? I Googled it and found many such bed pan guitars!

You guys couldn't stick with cigar boxes. You had to move on to bed pans.

Got any build pictures 63supro? I am, of course, interested in the construction.
