Shovel Guitar

Visiting friends in SF, spring 2017, I decided to “throw together” a shovel guitar after happening upon this video. I don’t play slide guitar so I decided to try and put together a full 6 string guitar with frets. The work was done almost entirely with a belt sander and drill (had to borrow a hack saw to shorten metal neck of the shovel to expose more of the handle).

Unfortunately I didn’t take a lot of pictures, so this is a composite image :). I started with a home depot shovel and some used electric guitar guts.
