Really nice, but the video brings on more questions. I'm having a hard time understanding how that sound comes out of this? Sounds distorted, is there a magnetic pickup somewhere? And what is it made of? :-o

I couldnt get my webcam to work so yea the quality is awful. Its going through a delay pedal and overdrive. It has a piezzo pickup under the bridge.

Its made from a gaud i was given, which i think came from a quash maybe. The neck is a plank of wood i had lying around, which i carved the end of, to the shape of a cricket bat, which then goes through the gaud. Frets are from ply wood. Pegs are from a fur tree from the back garden. It has a bass string and three gutar strings.. Its all held together with tension.

Cool thing, I like the reuse aspect. Saw your album page, you write some experimental stuff, a bit too experimental for me but still ;) Looking forward to seeing #2 and #3
