horns. You just have to buy (or turn) the mouthpiece, cut a piece of garden hose to the right length and (if you want them to be loud) stick a funnel in front. These are pretty popular with alphorn players because you can roll them up for easy transport.

Each bar is an idiophone tuned to a pitch of a musical scale, whether pentatonic or heptatonic in the case of many African and Asian instruments, diatonic in many western children's instruments, or chromatic for orchestral use

you can build a guitar out of anything as long as you buy the pickups, plug, tuning keys, bridge, and strings. body doesn't matter.

LOL, fails to mention the most difficult part of a guitar to diy (really an assembly of about two dozen separate parts), that can make or break its playability if any of a number of critical measurements are even slightly off.

Even experienced luthiers have to know their shit and pay attention not to fuck up when fabricating one, and even a perfect one can be rendered useless if not carefully installed.

Not the point; that dumbfuck (you?) didn't even mention the most critical part of a guitar when telling someone how to build one and what parts are involved.

>>2800354
Someone was making the point that the body of an electrical guitar, unlike an acoustic guitar, doesn't matter as long as it can support the components. He wasn't giving detailed instructions on how to build a guitar.

In other words, there's a dumbfuck in this thread, for damn sure, but it's not that guy. Guess who it is.

>making the point that the body of an electrical guitar, unlike an acoustic guitar, doesn't matter as long as it can support the components.

That "point" was not made at all, no mention whatsoever of acoustic vs electric guitars or support of components, you just pulled all of that out of your ass.
And again, no mention of the one component mounted to a guitar body where that "support" is critical to the whole thing working.

>In other words, there's a dumbfuck in this thread, for damn sure, but it's not that guy. Guess who it is.

You, for being the seething retard defending a moronic post that saw fit to mention needing a "plug" but never mentioned THE single most important and complicated part of building a functional guitar, whether it's electric or acoustic.

You still don't even know what part I'm talking about, do you? LMAO
