I've been wanting to build a diddley bow for a while now.
Finally got around to it. Here's a video literally right after we finished putting the last screw in. Not too bad for not having done this before and this is what it sounded like right out of the gate.

And in case you wonder what the hell someone would do with something so crappy... here's an idea. If you don't think this is pretty freakin awesome I'll come punch you in the face.

Pretty frickin awesome. Good gritty sound. Is that hooked up to an amp?

Yeah, just a little mini powered monitor. Also running through a distortion pedal that you can just see sitting on the end of it (The green box).

That's awesome. Band was good as well and wouldn't mind going to a bar and watching them jam.

Thanks Pure. I already have some ideas on how to improve the sound and get it to sound a bit more like the second video there. I think having all metal was a bad idea for one thing.
Hopefully in the next couple days I'll have some more time to tinker with it!
