I have one more collecting dust at a friends house. I should make a New Years resolution to learn how to play these things.

Pickled guitar. Sounds exotic. Sort of a delicacy. I like pickled eggs. I have seen a pickled guitarist. Pickled Picker Picked a peck of Pickled Pickeroons...

Thanks Dave! That one had a rough start. When I first built it, I put a disc in the bowl, under the bass side of the bridge. I had it bedded in wood, like a disc o tone, but it fed back like crazy. The flat pup sounds cool in there, I think. I had to make the bridge so that the legs rest on the outer edges of the bowl, where it curves, otherwise the top of that bowl would "pop" like a pickle jar lid.

Thanks Unc, Bluesheart, and Jerry!   None of these are recent builds, I was messing around with some 4 string tabs on the weekend on the middle one, that led me to get out the other two, and tune 'em, so I took a picture. I built the one with 4 holes, and put it in a box when I  got it finished. I almost forgot I had it. It plays and sounds really nice. I put a few gits on craigslist on the weekend, so I took a few pics and made some videos in case anyone calls.

Very nice.    Rick, tune um GDGB and start out playing them just like a 3 string.   Then add some easy finger chords.   Great tuning.
