Our version of Telstar using a homemade 3 string Cigar Box Guitar, coupled with a Roland Ax Synth keytar! The CBG was made from a Chickenbone John neck and a Camacho box with a Gretsch Deltoluxe pickup in A tuning. We filmed this at the same time as our entry for the Samantha Fish Cigar Box Guitar playoffs, which is also on our YouTube.

Keytar and geetar. Double the fun. I think we need to see more Dots vids! BTW is that a Volca setup I see in the background?
