How to make a Diddley Bow , 2 Strings
Full video
I apologize if I left something behind the scenes. (for example, how he covered the box with varnish .. by the way, this is a yacht varnish from a spray can)
This guitar sounds at the end of the video. There are sound examples on the channel.

What gauge strings did you use?

@CigarBoxBroGuitars 9 ай бұрын

Hello! one string is thick (from the bass) ... the second is thin, from the guitar.

@@CigarBoxBroGuitars I thought so but what gauges are they exactly? Because they are in harmony when you play both at the same time.

Cheers for the tutorial. Where is your fret template from ? Have you got a link ?

@CigarBoxBroGuitars 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah 😊 The template is custom made. There are no such ones on sale ... there may be similar ones!

@@toxicbograt I have one .. or rather several of them (different scales). Made of stainless steel. Try to look for someone who can make it .. you need to take into account the thickness of the saw blade in the calculations (my saw is 0.6 mm). I can help you and order production .. but it will be very expensive .. and I am also far away .. In St. Petersburg, Russia!

What's the scale length? Fretting can be figured out fairly easy with that info
