Assembling a string quartet for our local recycling festival in november, just strung up this rasty sounding DeArmond pickup loaded candolin to go with the gastank bass, now on to a pair of 'dynamite' guitars with bodies from recycled genuine prewar dupont quarry gelatin boxes!

Wonderful looking and I bet they have that really old time, really ancient tone. Just stay away from lightening. Would love to hear the ensemble. Doug in Vermont

Can't wait for the video or sound clip. The beer holder is a nice touch; extra credit for choice of beer! ;)

Nice stuff.

Yea I suppose border patrol has the Fuel tanks available for scrap after the contraband is removed..
got a little top sinkage on the smaller one..
Nice to see the Bass player won't go Thirsty..

The candolin is a neck thru, as is the quarry gelatin single pickup I strung up this evening. Waiting on a pair of humbuckers for the 2 pickup model. The box had a stamp of Dec 4 1933 40% strength

Totally awesome. Makes me look at my stack of cigar boxes and want to start working on something.

Recanned with a classier Marvel Mystery Oil can, increased the neck-thru neck angle, stuck the dearmond with double sided tape. Looks and plays slicker now.....the dynamite doesn't play too bad either:f4wIo73uHlQ
