This guitar is made entirely from recycled materials. Solid brass except for the fret-board, which is from a mahogany pallet I received some product on from the Phillipines. The brass ball of the body is what I believe was a kerosene lantern base in it's past life. The three brass tubes forming the neck were chandelier parts and a telescoping leg from an old brass camera tripod that never fit a single camera I ever owned. The center tripod tube with it's "horn" extends over 3 feet and has various attachments including an arrow-head finial from an old lamp for roasting hotdogs on the campfire. The two tuners on the head are old valves as is the tuner on the tail end. The three tubes are joined using an old brass pipe strap and the angle was achieved using 2 fittings from a 50's era goose-neck lamp. The nut and frets are brazing-rod stubs that I always save. The "soundboard" is an old door escutcheon-plate and the round "hand-rest" valve handle was part of the original kerosene lamp. The bridge is an old brass key. The fancy decorative brass valves and tubes were at one time gas-light fixtures salvaged from old homes. The large horn "speaker" was the top of a brass outdoor light fixture, the smaller horns were once candle holders. The "speed-contol" is from a long gone victrola record player and it is mounted onto an old door-bell escutcheon. The pick-up is a speaker from a 1961 "Archer" walkie-talkie. The wires from it are copper shielded wire cut-offs from low-voltage ...
