Quite doable as a hobby these days especially if you like music. You can buy parts direct from China extremely cheap on eBay/etc. I have been (extremely slowly) building a MIDI keyboard out of an Arduino and have built guitar pedals in the past.
Also enjoy this guy's videos when I have crap loads of free time:

&v=yxtXMC7suuQHe is building an analogue vocoder. Also watching him opening post is very satisfying and helps control my urges to buy crap.
Edit: fair warning, the videos aren't exactly exciting
