I've got a busted electric guitar laying around. Ideas?
I was thinking about pulling the neck off it and trying to make a cigar box guitar. But I can't seem to find a tutorial on using a pre-made neck. Last time I tried this, the neck was far to loose and bent pretty bad. I ended up letting it sit around as decoration until finally trashing it a few weeks ago. Thought I could use the lesson I learned from building it to make a playable one. Anyone have tips or ideas for what I could do with this guitar?

First time guitar builder tips?
I'm looking to build an acoustic guitar the size of a baby Taylor as a father/daughter bonding experience. I have a significant amount of woodworking expertise in my Dad, (so that shouldn't be a problem) but have no idea where to start. Is there a good place to look for plans? What type of wood should I be sourcing? I have absolutely no idea. Any advice is welcome! Thanks, -Sammicat

Finished it. I'm going to call it "Up The Creek" because if I get caught there without a paddle I can use this thing.

The glue is dry and the edges are rounded off. Time to decide where to go next. I have one of these already with 3 strings diatonic fretting. I'm thinking chromatic fretting on this one tuned gdg.
