Well, I do know who's guit this belongs to (can't tell ya tho. some of us might know who tho) I did get mostly this so... Dunno the electronics. I assume since the strings are steel (electric strings) that its a mag pup.
I just wanna know if this builder is one of us. I wanna build something VERY similar and _no_, even tho it looks like a Lowebow, it isn't. That much I do know 100%.

I don;t know who made it but i sure like it.T he top bass string is just totally gear man! What kind of electronices (if any) does it have? mag PUP? Could you post a picture of the rest of it if ya got one? Maybe someone will recognize it from a full body shot.
If I was guessing it looks like a Johnny Lowebow guitar with a normal neck...

Aaron Moreland: My friend, Mike Schneider, built it for me. We were playing at the King Biscuit Blues Festival in Arkansas a while back and Mike just walked up and introduced himself and told us he was a fan of our music. He had built a cigar-box guitar and he wanted me to try it out. After I played it I told him I really loved the instrument and asked if he could build me one. That’s really how it all got started.
Matt: How’s the guitar set up? Are there four strings and what’s the range like, is it similar to a guitar, or a bass, or something all its own?
Aaron: It’s got one big string, like a .75, I’ve never played bass so I’m not sure if that’s like a G string on a bass, but it’s something like that. Then there are three guitar strings, so one bass and three guitar. I use a .32, .14 and a .11. Sometimes I use .16 and a .12. I always forget which gauge I’m using when I break a string so I have to compare the broken string in the store to make sure I buy the right one. [Laughs]
Matt: The cigar-box guitar gives you such a full bass sound when amplified. Are you running it through an octave pedal or anything, or is that just the natural sound of the instrument?
Aaron: That’s just the natural sound of the instrument. The genius of that guitar is that the strings are split, so I can run the bass string through a guitar amp and the other three guitar strings through a guitar amp. That’s the secret behind the guitar’s larger than life sound.

Yeppers Mr K, it's Aaron's. So anyone know if Mike is one of ours here? I wanna pick his brain if possible.
