  • That is quite beautiful and thanks for posting some details about the build. Nice clean work and I get that thing is a blast through an amp!

  • Thank you AGP! I used a dual rail on a 3 string CBG I made with my husband and really liked the tone, so it seemed like a great option for an electric diddley bow. I'm really happy with how it turned out. The dual rail seems to work well with the single string, and it gives a very 'lined up' look for lack of a better term. The whole pup with all the controls was quite affordable too. 

  • "Cool', nice looking build, I've never thought to use a Dual Rail on a Diddley Bow, looks like it belongs there!
