Making a Ceramic Acoustic Guitar

This ceramic guitar was built over the course of two months and has the sound of a steel guitar mixed with the plunkiness of a banjo. The body is ceramic and the neck is oak. The body was constructed by throwing two bowls on the wheel, joining them, and then securing the neck onto the resonator with construction-grade adhesive. The headstock was hand-carved. These guitars are available as pictured or can be custom designed according to client specifications. They all come with a thin 1/2" wide tape pickup and 1/4" input jack.

What kind of ceramic are you using here (earthenware, stoneware) and why? How would you describe the difference - if you did go through any materials experimentation - between various ceramics, or what would you expect them to be?

a guitar is more than just a box with strings streatched accross the top, theres beveled wood all along the walls on the inside.
