Vintage Resonator

Whenever I start a project, I play a bit with what the possibilities could be. After staring at this old vintage cedar cigar box (courtesy of my father), I've decided to put this thrift store metal bowl inside the guitar (sitting on a platform to let it ring), and make a 4 string resonator guitar out of it. Not quite sure how I'll secure the neck yet, but I'll figure it out.
