Post by: PEARL DRUMS on June 27, 2014, 12:53:17 pm: How about some buff horn rather? Got some..
Title: Re: made me a new diddley guitar
Post by: bubby on June 27, 2014, 01:22:10 pm: On,the last 3 string I made I used horn for the nut, not the bridge, the nut and bolt are kind of traditional to use for the bridge and nut but these othings are just made out of whatever you have that's what's cool about them

Post by: autologus on June 27, 2014, 05:23:22 pm: Awesome Diddley Bow, I have been wanting to make me one, I can't play anything but I could probably play one of those. Sea Sick Steve is great I have watched his You Tube videos a ton.
