So I've been out of the rocket building and flying business for a little bit. We moved last July and life's been crazy. A couple months ago I saw a cigar box guitar for the very first time. It looked like something I could build so I did! Built one, then another, and a third one will be on the way.
Super fun. It's kind of like a rocket but more instant gratification when it's finished! The Camacho guitar is my first electric. The other has a piezo pickup in it.

seems pretty cool, I cant pick worth a lick though so not fun for me. maybe I would enjoy building one but I wouldn't know if was any good when I finished.

Those have a sound of their own. Nothing else like it. On the flip side of this, I always wanted a pair of matching lamps made out of two of these.

If by 'sound all their own' you mean they can make my crappy playing with no rhythm sound decent then I'm all for it.

Sorry dood. If you play crappy, this guitar will make you sound worse. You gotta be a fairly good picker to make one of these sound cool.
