If you are a musician, you might consider making your own stompbox. They are very easy to make with whatever tools and wood you can find. Assembling the electrical parts is a snap and they only cost a few dollars. I had fun jazzing up my version with tambourine cymbals and a snare, but just a simple box works great.
What you will need is a Piezo Transducer (an electronic pickup). There are various types available in many places such as Amazon.com. If you want to buy one locally, here’s one you can get at Radio Shack:

You might want to look around for a bass pickup, which will give you a much deeper sound.
And you will need a 1/4″ phone jack to hook the box to an amplifier. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103454

Hi Do u sell these??
Great video. The tape might fall off, especially if it gets hot. I always use velcro for that sort of thing
I'd love to see a series of videos of you building an entire guitar.
dude, this video was amazing! wasn't expecting the end tho :D. very nice. I especially liked the transition to the guitar playing and the drill sound kinda overlapping, great job!
I wish this guy was my dad lol
Super explanation. Thanks!
using screws is a no no.dampens the acoustics too much.but not bad work for a such short build.good job <3
If you don't want to make your box, check cigar shops for cool wood boxes. The place I go has a wall of old boxes for $2 a piece.
wow, so cool. The tamborine add on was genius!
