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!
