Hey..Can You Give Me Some Info On That Electric Guitar In The Background..I Have Racked My Brain Tryin To Figure Out A Way To Get All The Electronics Inside Without Ripping The Can Apart..Thanks

@Hensley1212 Ha! I am having the very same problem... I think that the answer is to install the electronics like music stores would repair a semi-hollow electric... Cut an f-hole (or use one of the existing holes in the can), and find a long set of needle nose pliers and fish things through. Truthfully, the guitar has a huge hole in the back because I was lazy... And the whole thing failed because of the way I installed the neck. It ended up blocking the electronics.

Can you make a video discussing more in-depth how you made the canjo? I'd be very interested to see it if you get time. Best of luck!
