Cigar box guitar build

My second cigar box build, featuring a steampunk theme.

It's supposed to be a discarded boiler, which isn't immediately apparent, but it's fairly realistic I think in mimicking the typical steampunk design theme. 

Scale length is 25". GDG tuning.

    That’s awesome, wow!
    Is the main body metal, or wood made to look like metal?

    Thanks! The main body is cedar with a metal paint effect.

    That's brilliant, absolutely love that.

    Your life will improve when you realise it’s better to be alone than chase people who do not really care about you. Saying YES to happiness means learning to say NO to things and people that stress you out.

    Cheers fellas....it sounds good - brighter than the last one I built due to the use of Cherry for the neck. I'm thinking of shimming the nut and turning it into a slide machine. The next one I have planned is a six stringer tuned to open G for delta blues. I have a large jewellery box that will be perfect for it.
