My fantastic African guitar


I bought this 4 years ago when I was out in Capetown on a job. Its basically a 1 gallon oil can complete with handle and spout with a bar of ally running through on which they screw all the important bits and a fingerboard. The volume controls are bottle tops, the pick ups are hand wound and I bought it because I just thought it looked so cool.
Turns out that it is brilliant to play with a great action and sound.

I was in Capetown on in 2005 and I ran into this guy while walking around a local shopping mall... not only was I amazed by his playing, but I couldn't believe the guitar!



I had a chance to play one later that day and I have to say, they were very well made and they sounded great!

That's so awesome... It'd be cool to see a video of someone playing one.
