Strings : .038NW/.024NW/.017NW/
Tuning : B F# b
The Tin Sign was a Xmas present which hung outside on the “Beer Slurping Patio”, until my addictive build a Git out anything kicked in, the Body is a 16 Piece Segment Block Rim Build of recycled Norway Spruce Pine (I think?), sourced from my trusty old deconstructed Piano, and coated with “Brown Japan Stain”, the Neck is recycled Grey Ironbark, the Fretboard is Mahogany Veneered European Poplar, again sourced from the old Piano, and coated with “Old Baltic Stain”, and a 4.3k Delta Type Pickup is hardwired to the Output Jack. :-)

Thanks 'UJ', It's been a couple of yrs since I done the last Block Rim Build, so had to have a of a bit think to remember how I done them!, went through a bit of a stage back then of Block Rim Mania, from memory started by a Jim Morris Banjo Build, built 7 different Banjo Git builds, this one is number 8, it was one those build as you go along builds, and the Beer Caps were an obvious inclusion, and you're spot on with the Hank Song, it was the first thing I thought of when starting the build, one of my fave Hank songs, as is the Hank / Bocephus version. :-)
"Thanks Bob", Great Description! :-D
"Thanks Bones", one of the main reasons I spend a fair bit of time in the shed building Gits, is that it keeps me out of the Beer Fridge for as long as possible before rippin' the top off one,
Cheers & Beers Cobber :-)
Beautifully intoxicating!
Bonza Cobba , got one in my hand right now ...
