Two experimental, repurposed GDG CBGs. 23.5” scale length: .065 blue trimmer line, 150 and 100 lb. test fishing line. 20.1” scale length: .080 green trimmer line, 200 and 150 lb. test fishing line. Both have piezo pickups. They sound best plugged in.

Neat looking pair! Educational.. and the photo and the title does it for me too Doug!
Thanks AGP! After further playing the longer scale length sounds better, but the strings are still settling down on the shorter one, so I will need to play it some more. The tonal characteristics of the weedwacker string make it sound kinda like you are playing a muted bass line as you strum.
Thanks Pick, cool idea with the spring; that may come in handy down the road!
HECK . I CANT REMEMBER HALF MY IDEAS ,, LET ALONE WHERE I GOT THEM FROM . OR EVEN IF THEY WERE ORIGINALLY MINE OR NOT . LOL. BUT HAVE AT IT ;-)
can't even remember to turn caps lock off ;-)
"Cool Couple of Builds Doug", and Wow! Pick, where on Earth did you get that idea from, I've been saving the springs from old Biro's for years, and I do have a Weed Whacker One String Gourd Diddley, that wil now have a Mag Pup added to it, hope it works ?? ;-)
Cool. ..... Heres a lil tip for ya .. for a one stringer weed whacker guit . Take the little spring out of a click pen . and slip it onto the weedwhacker line . Then you can use it with a mag pickup . just place it over the pickup area .. . You may need to crimp the edges to make it stay , depending on your string gauge . makes a cool lil base type onestringer .
