@Murderthepatient It does -- I have thought about playing the song "Maui...Hawaiian superman" on it...or something from a Bu'la'ia' album...or maybe a Hapa album.

[SteveBelong]

That's a really cool project idea Jim. :)

[xyzguitar]

@SteveBelong Thanks Steve.  This project has a lot of possibilities and good with young kids. You can even use stronger materials like Masonite and such. I have been very busy this week teaching 6 to 11 year olds at a science camp. I was called in to fill a spot at the last minute. I had the kids make guitars today, similar to the one in the video. It was a lot of fun. They loved it. It is surprising that they can sound like a real electric guitar.
