This one is made from an old gas can I found in a little shop.
At first it was going to be acoustic but after putting it together it didn't have that loud of a sound so I hunted around and found a pickup from an old broken Teisco guitar to put onto it.

Sounds wonderful. There's a lot of sustain in the notes which ring out. I'll look out for the vid of it being played.

It can be kinda awkward but I've been holding it like you would hold a banjo sitting down in your lap... I'll start doing the instrument vids actually showing them played  its just been easier to record audio and add pics

sounds AMAZING!!...would like to see a video of it being played..looks like it would be tricky to hold?

Thanks! I think the pickup being stuck straight to the big metal can gives it a good sound.. with some distortion you can hear the sound coming from all over the can
