Build a Packing Crate Guitar: How-To Book + Parts Kit by Ben "Gitty" Baker

Turn antique packing crates, trunks and boxes into amazing, fully playable heirloom instruments! Using his 3-string short-scale "Baker's Friend" guitar as a build example, author Ben "Gitty" Baker walks you through every facet of the process, illustrating each step with full-color photos and diagrams. At 76 pages with over 100 color photos, this book is chock full of useful homemade instrument-building how-to goodness.

Choose whether you want just the book, just the hardware parts pack, or the full kit - the hardware in the parts pack are the same ones Ben used on the Baker's Friend example build, allowing you to easily create your own version using your very own crate.

Please note that the actual packing crate is not included - but Gitty walks you through where to find them, the different types you're likely to see, and problem areas to watch out for.
