Found a gas can on the curb side last month(silly people throw away such nice stuff). So I'm going to make it into a 4 string. Would it be a CanJo, CBG Resonator or a GCG(Gas Can Guitar)?
I have a Ceramic Mag Double Coil neck pickup to use for it. Figured the filler/pour opening would be my soundhole. Cut the handle off because it was in the way of the neck, will probably use it as a bridge. The can is rusted and a little scared so I'll just clear coat it for that relicked look.
The only part that I'm not decided on is how to install the neck. Usually I run a piece all the way through and bolt a neck on one end and terminate the strings on the other, but it's kind of hard to brace the through piece inside a can. If any of you guys have done a gas can build, I could use your input and suggestions please. Thanks.
I'll add a pic of the can later.

That one tuner that was a problem that I though was fixed, reared it's ugly head when I was tuning up the B(high) string. Had to replace it with the one for the opposite side that I had left over. Had to slightly angle the bridge bolt for intonation. Guessing it had something to do with the angled neck(arch top style) and raised bridge.
Had fun with it. Onward to something else.
Just had another one of these POS tuners crap out on me. I will never ever ever buy the UN-sealed or the similar open back tuners again.
These Economy Tuners have turned out to be Expensive Waste Of Money Tuners. That's what I get for trying to save money I guess.
Okay, I was able to fix the tuner. The gear was loose. I tightened all the gears before installing the covers. Guess with tuning, the gear became loose. So if anyone else using these tuners have a slipping issue, check to make sure the gear is tight. I will replace these later though. Don't want to go through this every time I change strings.
