Behold, a cigar box guitar that will cut you (or, realistically, me).
Thanks to @fullywoolly@mastodon.social and @Oyu_Fka@mastodon.social for help in making the piezo pickup work (i.e., you only have yourselves to blame).

Quoting
I've been kind of absent from here for a while. But now! A video of a very bad but very fun guitar! That I made! First one ever!
Materials:
* Galvanized steel washtub
* 2x4 (i.e., wood)
* walnut piece (fingerboard)
* fret wire
* guitar tuners
* rusty bolt
* piece of pipe from a lamp
* floor base of a different lamp
* scraper blade from oscillating tool
* bicycle chain
* luggage strap
* 1/2 inch EMT (galvanized) conduit
* thick wire from a yard sign
* piezo buzzer from some toy
* 1/4 inch female audio jack
* wire, solder, some screws, etc.
(this is 5 minutes of me showing the guitar and playing some random things to show how it sounds)
