2018 Cookie Tin Reso

Posted by Lonman on December 1, 2018 at 10:02am
4 string, acoustic/electric, piezo w/ tone capacitor, 24" scale, 18 frets, internal springs, walnut stained oak neck, oak fretboard, threaded screw bridge, clay dots, corion nut.Cookie tin with a hammered coffee tin bottom on top of cookie tin lid. I was curious if this would add to the resonance, not sure if it did but it did result in a higher action that I usually use. I was not able to use a Gitty padauk bridge and went with a screw.Strings are 2-5 from 6 pack. Want to try F7 tuning or Hounddog Taylor tuning.Video to come soon.I am pleased at result. Pretty fun to play.

    Thanks for the kind comments. It is a fun one. I used this mallet. I have not got a ball peen hammer yet, perhaps I should.

    I love what you did with the lid. Ball peen hammer work?

    Looks great. Tried to hit the like button, guess it's not working today.

    I sure like the look, especially the hammered part.  I will look forward to a video.

    Good idea to hammer the lid. Looks nice.
