The title says it all, I had a guy contact me yesterday paying me to make him a beer themed cigar box guitar. His favorite beer I found out is Bud Light.
Any ideas on what to do on this, I've searched in the picture section with no luck on ideas on beer themed cigar box guitar. Only thing I can think off off the top of my head is the sound knobs use beer bottle caps, beside that I'm out of ideas.
Lots of help needed here, thanks.

from a google image search it seems the predominant colour is blue. what sort of box are you going to use? you could print out some pics and use a pva/water mix to decorate the box? bottle caps on the knobs sounds like a good start..
Thanks guys, this gives me a good start. Yes he wants Bud Light not Budweiser which is mainly blue, I have almost 80 cigar boxes so I have a big variety to pick from to use for this.
I thought about using a Bud Light tin sign and put it on top of a cigar box like a license plate but not finding many Bud Light, found tons of Budweiser but not Bud Light. I thought about printing some things on water decal paper and putting it over some of my plain boxes maybe.
Thanks everyone for the ideas.
you could open out some cans? cut top and bottom off slit it down the back and flatten it out?
on the bright side , you can get a case of bud light and get hammered and call it "research " ;-}
ehhemm... budlight isn't beer ;)
lol anyway. Now about making the headstock look like a can. cbgitty has can tops I think, might be able to remove one from existing can.
I saw a bottle opener attached under a strap button before.
I saw miniature beer bottle smoking pipes on e-bay. I got one, carlsberg :\ came instead of the one I ordered but it didn't matter, sticky paper lable over metal shape. It crews in half and reattached to make the pipe. Anywhoo..
It is small, perhaps 6cm with a 1cm diameter. I plan on using it as a bridge. It's pretty cool. I'm sure you can find a bud one.
You could also bend two caps together to fit over the tuning peg knobs. :)
There also popped tin can sound hole covers somewhere online
Build a box. Paint it "Bud Light Blue. Add some beer can top sound holes. Take a bottle of Bud Lights and soak it to remove the label. Paste it in the center of the box. Use a couple of bottle caps for the knobs. If you wanna get fancy, remove a few more labels and decoupage them on the fretboard.
When you're all done, open a real beer, like Heineken and enjoy!
