HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

I turned some trash and old bicycle parts into a guitar!

Like I have said before, it isn't all about bikes. I made this 3 stringed CBG from a re-purposed Macanudo box, scrap wood, recycled guitar strings and tuners from a guitar that was salvaged from the dumpster and old bicycle parts. Then I added a strap made from an old bicycle inner tube and reclaimed hardware, It is definitely a one of a kind conversation piece.

I do not consider myself a musician by any means, but I really enjoy making Diddly Bo's and Cigar Box guitars and I enjoy playing around on them even more! I uploaded a video demonstrating this little beauty on my Youtube channel,

I have it tuned to open G. The strings sit a little high for finger fretting but it really sounds great with a slide (an old socket in my case). It is acoustic, but the sound is awesome. Maybe I will put a pickup on the next one that I build.

If you would like to own this 3 stringer you can purchase it HERE!

Thanks for reading and pedal on!

Due to my current limitations on space I am getting rid of some of my larger pieces dirt cheap in hopes of clearing out room for new works that I am putting out.

Fresh Paint!

I have been throwing together some fresh images and slicing the Mylar again. The focus of my latest stencil designs is "Sexy Girls" and "Bicycles" (of course!). So far I am pretty pleased with the resulting pieces that I have been able to spray out using them. I will be doing a limited run of each stencil and will sign and number each piece and listing them in the W.B.W. shop.

 

I will post here when the first releases are ready and listed.

You just never know what you will find while riding your bike and dumpster diving!

From the trash to turtle food!
