    Default My New Guitar !

    Here is my new Bedpan guitar ! No, your eyes are not deceiving you ! That is a real ( used) bedpan from the 30's/40's ! I use it to chord on old time songs with a minimum of chords ! It can serve a dual purpose if you can't hold it any longer ! Click image for larger version.

    Many years ago - in the early 1980s- I used to go to the Old Time Fiddlers Gathering in Battleground, Indiana.
    Bruce Cunningham lived in Battleground and did some part time instrument repair.
    Bruce made, and brought to the Fiddelr's Gathering, a pandolin.
    A mandolin made out of a bedpan.
    I don't recall if anyone asked if the bedpan was new or used, though...

    Do you use an old medicine cabinet for a case? Get a flush handle as a whammy bar? Do 'That Smell' by Lynyrd Skynyrd as an encore?

    I'll stop now . . . .

    Man - from your posts, I know that you have a lot of nice, interesting instruments, and yet ... you had to ask and learn how to post a photo for this?

    Okay, to each his own, no shade on you. I figured since I took the bait and clicked, might as well enter a post. Enjoy your porcelain geetar.
