Played on the 3 string biscuit-tin banjo..sorry for the distorted sound...seemed to record this with way too much gain..but not to worry.

John I found my way back to this one.  Wonderful playing.  Awesome.  And the stomper adds to it.

That was a better choice than Trash Receptacle John or Junk Guitar John. Sounds bluesier.

Got to say that a couple of my favorite guitars were trash guitars that I made into good players. Not pretty, but players. Peace, my chicken bone brother.

Well, the name came after I found a guitar thrown out on the street...I took it home and while drying it out and cleaning it up, found someone had used it as a convenient trash receptacle and stuffed the soundhole full of chickenbones. I turned that guitar into my first resonator guitar.

Mounting the pickup is hardly a trade secret, I just glue it under the top of the tin.
