Aluminium Tricone Resonator

Posted by Ruben Poncia on October 15, 2011 at 4:07am

Finaly finished this Aluminium Tricone Resonator...technically it's not a cigarbox guitar, but it's made with the same spirit... apart from the tuners, strings and cones everything is handmade... .. went to the DIY store, bought some aluminium sheets and some other stuff then glued, nailed and hammered it together... 3 ukelele cones amplify the vibrations of the strings via the aluminium/ebony bridge... the coverplate made from a cymbal protects the bridge and cones... rosewood fingerboard, mahogany neck with trussrod... it rings like a bell!
