AGP #468 – “Stringybark”2 String Tin Can Resonator Lap Slide Chugger GuitarScale: 23 inchesStrings: .038NW .028NWTuned: B ENicked the idea for this build off an Aussie Guitarist who goes by the name of Stringy Bark McDowell, who lives off the grid, and maybe best described as a little bit eccentric, but by Crikey!, he can play, CBG’s, 6 Stringers and Banjo, check him out on Utube (link at bottom), and in my opinion he does the best version of “Jumper On The Line” I’ve ever heard.As is obvious the the Build is 70mm x 35mm Radiata Pine Framing Timber, built around a 5” x 7” Tin Can, an 8.4k Alnico Single Coil Pickup is hardwired to the Jack and from there Grounded to the side of the Can.I gave the Tin Can a couple of light coats of Clear Enamel, to prevent rust, but the Timber is ‘Au-Natural”.2 string Can Lee bow loop!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhgjbWLWqBk&t=3sRead more…
Yes Doug it is hard to be original, have another Tin Can Build almost finished on the bench, which incorporates a few different ideas from other peoples builds, but I think I can claim this one to be an "AGP Original Design" :-)

I can identify with that remarkAGP! It is hard to be truly original, but we can create our own take on what we have been inspired by!
"Thanks Doug", but should read, always purloining other people different builds ideas! ;-D
Very interesting guitar AGP! You are always coming up with something different. I like how you incorporated the can.
