  • Thanks, Calim.

  • looks awesome !

  • I was expecting to have some feedback problems, but was pleasantly surprised when there was actually less feedback than with the piezo discs. I am still experimenting with these, so I may try something different with the next one.

  • The cans I've tried with internal magnetic pickups had serious feedback issues but sounded cool. How'd it go for you?

  • Thanks, all. It sounds pretty good with the pup-under-the-lid rig. Its just a single coil with a 250k pot. I might try a 500k pot on the next one. I think it's all about mounting it so it's as close to the inside of the lid as possible. But to be honest, the ones I've built with neck-embeded dual 20mm piezo discs sound just as good.

  • I love the look of you film can guitars. This one is a real beauty though.

    I love the neck which is a lovely choice of contrasting woods.

    Interesting with the pickup sensing the can vibrations rather than the strings. How does it sound?

    Cheers,
    Steve
  • Another sharp lookin build Max !!

  • Very cool, pretty and just cool.  The only thing I can see that falls short of perfection is one too many strings for my likes..

  • A BEAUTY!
