    I just bought a guitar that costs 20$ new. I was going to cut it up and take parts of it to make a cigar box guitar (which i may still do) but i was thinking of some other cool shit i could do like turning it into a 7 or 8 string guitar. any ideas?

    Acoustic I'm assuming? Where did you find a guitar that was 20 dollars new? Walmart? Lol what a steal. Definitely can afford to do something cool with it.

    To turn it into a 7 or 8 string you're going to have to replace the nut, bridge, and probably the headstock to make room for another tuner. Too much work

    You could stick a dildo on it so you feel the vibrations of the strings in your ass like a musical vibrator.

    You can't simply convert a traditional guitar to one of extended range without EXTENSIVE modification (if it's possible at all). Doing so would require one to fit a wider neck (to accomodate the extra string/s), route the neck pocket (assuming it's a bolt-on) and cavities to accommodate the necessary hardware, and reposition the bridge so that the guitar has the appropriate scale length. It's not an easy project by any means and unless you're and experienced/knowledgeable luthier, not a task you'll be able to tackle on your own.

    If it was only 20 bucks i wouldnt imagine it even being a good guitar, i dont think i would waste the time making it an 6 or 8 string guitar.
    Go with the ash tray idea :3 its creative and if u do it right it will look bad ass!

    It's more than $20 just for strings on most acoustics :laughing:
