My first oil can guitar

Posted by PhattyPatty on October 11, 2015 at 7:02am in Building Secrets, Tips, Advice, Discussion

Okay, this is just my second attempt at a self-made instrument. First I tried a ukulele... now, an oil can guitar. Once again, lots of room for improvement! But it sounds pretty good!

Nice looking build. I did mine differently.

I like the can that you used. It really adds character to the build.
