I think this takes the prize as my ugliest build to date! But inspiration is a tough mistress.

Hi Jim, I have a similar can and a friend asked me to build him a banjo. How did it sound? would you recommend using this type of can? Also. how did you attach the neck to the can?

 Thanks, JD

Oops... I meant CBN home page.

Thanks Sean. Regular guitar position. Check out the video - it's still on CBG home page.

This is great.  I love it.  Do you play it on your lap?

Made perfect sense, Maddog. I'm just getting over a bout with the flu myself. That explains the fever induced idea of a gas can guitar!

You are not alone Jim, some of my best lookers sound the worst and some of my worst lookers sound the best :-)

Did that make sense??? I am under the weather and not thinking straight, so basically it's a normal day ;-)

Thanks Maddog. I've built plenty of instruments that look good but sound less than good so it was nice to reverse that!

Comment by Maddog on February 7, 2014 at 3:52am

It is a thng of BEAUTY if'n ya ask me Jim :-) Sounds amazing too!

Thanks Richey. A lot of charm... that's the phrase real estate people use when talking about a beat up old fixer upper property!
