This is a prototype of a 4 string cbg featuring 2 of my own inovations. First is the use of a hollow steel neck and second is my own "Redneck Resonator" which uses beercans and produces that "dirty" sound many of us look for. The neck also adds to the sound.

Thanks Steve. Never happy enough with my own playing though. Other people always sound better to me.

Amazing metalic tone from the beer cans and metal neck.  Impressive good.
