CB Diddley Bow #2 - Complete

Had to make a 2nd one so my wife and I can try to learn to play these thangs, together!   I wanted to give this one a caribbean look with the coloring (even though the cigar box is from Holland). 25" scale with blues fret markers. Not sure if I'm "right" by doing that - I have watched 8,239 videos (give or take 8,100) so it is very possible I got my wires crossed on that.  The bridge is temporary, until I come up with something creative.

  • Thanks for the tips, BrianQ!

  • A piece of driftwood works well for bridges, if you have any laying about? You guys have fun, there’s some Diddley bow tabs for beginners in a few groups like: CBG Tabs, Diddley bows and other primitives , Canjo Consortium groups found here in the Posts tab? :)
