I made a new DIddley Bow. I used an Altoids can as the resonator, which gives me a wah-wah sound when I push on it wth my palm. Extremely cool. I added a pickup made from one side of a cheap set of headphones from the Dollar Store.

I'm still not sure how to post a picture in CBN, but you can see pics at my PhotoBucket site by clicking on the links below (If somebody can explain how to post pics directly, I'd really appreciate it).

The whole thing took me about 30 minutes to build. The only tools I used were an electric drill, a screwdriver, a pocketknife, and some sandpaper.

I had one old guitar tuner left from a previous build, so I jury rigged that so that I can tune my DB to play with other musicians (assuming that will happen sometime in the near future).

Could we use Rodney's guitar pic as the avatar for the California CBG's?

Jeff,
I've been living in Lancaster for 20 years now. I have played electric guitar (and still do) with a bunch of local bands (Legends, Del-Aires, Rock This Town, Denim). I'm brand new to CBG building and am hoping to finish my first one today.
