Recently discovered that my brother totally disassembled a guitar in the garage and just left it there (a black Strat copy with "Sawtooth" on the headstock), decided to turn it into a noise device. Currently I have it set up with the intent to put some springs on it and turn the neck pickup cavity into a shaker box. Anyone who's built similar devices that can offer some advice on construction? I've got a flat piezo element affixed in the bridge cavity, but I also have the pick guard with all the electronics still affixed if actual guitar pickups are better for spring abuse. Want a device that can just blast out harsh noise with some distortion and minimal other effects, so the priority is chunky feedback and rumble.

I've got a friend who will be doing the actual electronics work, so I can probably get it rigged up to switch between both sound sources if I want to keep the shaker integrated.
Even if you took a few years and learned all the chords you'd still have a limited number of options. If you ignore the chords your options are infinite and you can master guitar playing in one day. - David Fair

the more the better.. if you're not going to sting it up, just have a bunch of springs sticking out, piezos will work fine...but if you want to string it up, add the pickups too.

Sad but true. Seems like Special Interests is really the last bastion of Noise forums now.
