Hmmm if the frets are kind of in the right place...put in real tuners, a piezo pick up, or really light steel strings on the Explorer model, and a magnetic pickup in one of TWO places made for them for them. Just to see if it would work? How many person hours are we talking about? Say 3 hours @$14 an hour plus $30 for the parts (plus $ to buy the thing from Dollarama) that’s $78. Steal my idea, please! Them let me know how it comes out.

My ‘Round Planet Ci**rs” coffee can instrument. This is an early piece that I’ve come back to. It’s a modular design that allows for changing the top and bridge easily. It has three frets to allow easy fi*****ng of chords but the rest is fretless to allow slide sounds with your fingers. I also tried a kind of negative fret at the fifth, which didn’t really work but I will try drilling indentations behind the frets for a sort of scalloped fret effect. The neck is two pieces of oak laminated together- a 1/2 round and floorboard.DM if you want any other details.
