Description:

This webcast will take you from a pile of scrap wood and hardware to a working one-string electric guitar, all for well under $10. Along the way we'll talk about magnetic pickups, induction, musical scales, fabrication improvisation, and the history of blues. The $10 Electric Guitar is Project 13 from my book, "Snip, Burn, Solder, Shred: Seriously Geeky Stuff to Make with Your Kids."
