Cigar Box Guitar 3 String Hemingway CBG DEMO

Just a demo of a homemade Cigar Box Guitar that I made from an old Hemingway box.
The guitar is tuned D-A-d so you can call it an open D or D 5th.
Got a a Radio Shack Piezo Transducer taped inside as a pick-up.

Got that Texas blues thing going.  Nice visuals too.    Like the sound holes and Git.

I use MAGIX Movie edit pro 11 which is really out of date now but (I think I got it in '06).

I got it strung up with the 5-4-3 strings because I was thinking about using this guitar more for Chuck Berry/Rolling Stones type of thing even though this video is not an example of that...

Sweet sound, is that D-A-d using 6-5-1 or 6-5-4 strings?  And thanks for the vid, I've got a couple of those Hemingway boxes I haven't done anything with yet, glad to hear they can sound so good!
