Instrument maker Ranjit Bhatnagar will be leading a workshop at the Etsy Labs later this month, sounds like a lot of fun -

The electric guitar is a sophisticated and highly evolved instrument. But, you can make your own out of a few bucks worth of junk and parts. Learn to wind your own guitar pickups and build them into a simple one- or two-string junk guitar with a surprisingly nice sound. Depending on your ambition and experience, you can make your junk guitar as simple or as sophisticated as you want, but everybody is guaranteed to go home with at least a fun twangy noisemaker.

Date: July 30, 2008
Time: 6:30-9pm
Location: Etsy Labs, 325 Gold Street 3rd Floor, Brooklyn, NY 11201
