Vintage chocolate biscuit tin three string strummer

A quick demo, just done on my phone, of my latest build, which is more or less finished except for a bit of tweaking.
The old tin cost 99p from eBay. The neck I think is Iroko, with ebony nut and bridge.
It has a rod piezo, right under the bridge inside the tin. It's fretted like a dulcimer or strumstick so is fun and easy to play : -) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqh-etL9ehU
Might take it busking tomorrow to give it a proper test out!

That's sweet as peaches, Be. I really love the sound of these dulcimer fretted instruments, tuned and picked like you do so well.

Ahhh.   A winner here Be.   You and that guitar sound lovely.  Nice song.   Sounding a bit like Anders, which is excellent.   WARM tone.   Leave that git be, Be.
