Luthier Kim White has fashioned an old fishing tackle box into an electric guitar.
He made the first one for birthday present request for Brad Barr of the Montreal band, the Barr Brothers (the video is online at YouTube - bit.ly/s3iFUD).
He also turns old tin chocolate boxes into electric guitars and makes ukuleles out of old cigar boxes.
His work, made under the name Hobo Nation Guitars, is on display at Octopus Studios at 393 Powell Street in Vancouver as part of the Eastside Culture Crawl, which continues today and Sunday, Nov. 20.
