Electric/Acoustic Guitar Secret Compartment!

Here is a way to make use of the part of a guitar if you have broken electronics and no use for the electronic system (But don't want to have that space worthless!) 

(Note: The acoustic portion of guitar will maintain sound and playability!) 


You will need: 
Acoustic/Electric Guitar (preferably with broken electronics) 
Mint can, or something similar. 
Electrical Tape
Hot Glue
Free Time
Screwdriver

In this step, simply take out the electronics and see what exactly you have to work with. 

In this step, take out the parts that well... Take up space. Computer chips, wires, etc. This can be done by brute force with a hammer. (Or more delicately with a pair of pliers. Suggested)   

Be careful when doing this that you keep the knobs/sliders in place to maintain the look. I used electrical tape to do this. 

After you have cleared out the electronics, find what you want to replace it with. I chose a wrigleys mint canister, as it's size fit perfectly for what I needed. 

Take your desired canister and glue it in place. 

Now, something not addressed was the battery space. This is another very simple "Hidden compartment" which I use for picks. 
 
You now have two different compartments in your guitar; one simply accessed and recognized and another more well hidden and harder for others to "stumble across" in which you can keep more important things. (Flash drives, money, etc.) 

Put your things of desire into their respective canisters and then insert into the guitar! Screw the cover back on, and whala! 

Close everything up, and to the average eye you have yourself a completely normal guitar! Use your compartments as needed, as I'm sure the pick one will come in handy!
