This is a short loop I made with a Cassette tape head as a pickup on a single guitar string across a plank of wood and played with a plastic fishing discorger like a Hammered Dulcimer. Fed through my Nux MFX-10 effects pedal into a Boss Loopstation and then recorded into Reaper.

Thanks spinifex.
I keep meaning to finish the 3 string slide guitar using my old saucepan and the metal lid for a resonator. It started out as a 2 string electric fiddle, then I decided to add a string and make it more seasick steve-ish :O)
Here's my latest build, a toilet seat guitar made for My mate Will Sherrat aka: Mr Will.

I forgot to mention, the slightly vocal sound at the start of each loop section was created by bending the string on the other side of the bridge, which was a padlock hasp :0)
