This is a home made olive oil guitar. It has 4 strings. I have it tuned like a Greek Bouzouki, though it sounds more like a banjo. So I don't know what you'd wanna call it. Her name is Olive Oil cus she's built from an olive oil container and is skinny (like the character from Popeye). It's not 100% done, I still have to do some fine tuning to it, the neck is pitched slightly forward and the strings are a bit too tighter then they should be. So until I fix that and play around with tunings to know what's best it's not the easiest to play. However, I do like the sound so figured I'd show it. I got the idea from seeing a video on youtube of someone playing a gas can banjo. I'm playing parts of Tom Dooley and Battle Of New Orleans
