I was looking for a definition too when i was preparing my article on "Diddly Bo's. None was forth coming, and perhaps in line with the "No rules" philosophy of our hobby i was not surprised.
In the article (Wot no articles) I traced the historic origin from the mono-chord (one string "scientific" instrument used for teaching music theory). through anthropological instruments and then to the rustic instruments of the African slaves.
The interesting thing is that there was quite a lot of Mono-chords that had two strings.
I would go with one or two strings as part of any definition that might emerge from this discussion.
It would be nice for a musicologist person to have terms like Jawbone uses defined, but they never will because that is what we are!
I have some difficulties with a beautifully made CBG with one string (or two) being called a Diddly Bo. I think they should be a plank, couple of nails, a bottle and a tin or a box. Follow the tradition.
