One String Broom Stick.

This build is just as fun to play as it was to make it! Great fun! If you havent built one yet,go ahead! I couldn´t imagin one string would be that much fun and joy! It is a Cuaba box,an ordinary broom stick,and a G(3rd string) tuned somwhere around G.The piezo inside is from CB Gitty,The great builder JP Swenson gave that piezo,and I´m glad I put it in,I really think its containing a greater warmer sound(and not that screamy) than the piezos I´ve baught from China! Thank a lot JP for the stuff you sent to me! From now on Ill go for the CB Gitty Piezos! Inside the box is also a Tarot card "the Devil",that can be seen through the soundholes! The Devil ended up there because I had Crissroads in mind..

Comment by Tor Börve on December 9, 2012 at 7:18am: Thanks a lot wes carl, Clock&(His?) Wolf and JP Swenson For taking time watching and the kind comments! Yes JP!Watching the vid I can see that I must be careful!Huh!!..Mabye I was possesed doing it! :-) Yes the Devil must have been taking a spin up here to,and down where Clock lives to!He even had the chance to take a picture of him! :-) Thanks! :-) I must admit that I just made up the part of having a dream of the Devil(I was about to "make up a story there but quit! And might as good that! Because I´m not a fan of the Devil!! If it shows he is for real..then there is a better side to pick!..Like it hot..but ...that hot?..! NO ( Chili is hot enough for me,tastes like heaven! :-)

Comment by JP Swenson on December 8, 2012 at 3:31pm: YESSSSS! You are like a TorNado on that thing!! Wreaking havoc on that one string Diddley bow! Blowing the roof off with your sound! Be careful my friend or you could do real damage to the structure of your home playing with that much fury!!! ;-}

It sounds like the devil didn't just "go down to Georgia", he took a spin through Sweden as well!

Nice playing man! Keep up the great work!
