Bertolli - body

Posted by Elmar Zeilhofer on November 27, 2010 at 11:08pm

Klangbox n°48 - BertolliTuned in DGHe. Materials: An Italian olive oil can as body, two handwound Nailpup4-pickups, serial/parallel switch. The parallel mode is humbucking while the serial mode sounds brighter. My first instrument with real frets, before I used bicycle spokes. The can is covered by the wood of a Cuban "Romeo & Julieta" cigar box.Rating: 0/5 stars

very cool, I have a Pegasus oil can, but have no idea on how to work it other than just sticking the neck through.
