AGP #164 - “Rusty Peanuts”(1 String Tin Diddley Bow)Scale : 609mm / 24inchesString : .020PSTuning : G/AA $10 cheap arse build."Like Myself!", this build looks "Rusty, Old, Battered & Cheap" but "Sounds Sweet!".The Neck is Forest Red Gum (mistakenly cut too short for a previous build), the Magnetic Pickup was hand wound by me, the "Golden Peanuts" tin was found at an outdoor markets fair, on one side of the tin is printed "3/- [Shillings] Deposit On Tin Refunded If Returned In Good Condition", I don't think that would apply to this Tin!), it has a couple of natural small sound holes (where the rust has eaten through the metal).

A "Road Rocket" 'UJ', never heard of that one!, sounds awful, but no doubt I'll have to try one, usually the only time I drink Cola is when it has Rum or Bourbon added.
AGP there is a thing in the US called a road rocket. Probably not the safest thing, but good and satisfying. You get a cola and drink a few swigs. Then you dump peanuts in the bottle and drive down the road sipping, chewing and making sure you don't choke. Had one today!

I like the beat up look. Nice
Thanks 'heatmisergeorge' Yes! it does a very different vibe than my usual Diddley Bows.

Thanks for the comment 'Doc', It does sound sweet (to me!) It's the lightest string (.020 Plain Steel) I have put on a Diddley Bow type build.
I just had a look at your Photo Collection, and you certainly have a lot of nice builds "Well Done!"
all of the above .. and .. um .. i was eating a digestive cookie ;-)
Pick are you yumming on AGP's fine build or my road rocket or both?
yum
I especially like the back of this one.
