My sixth build was done as a tribute to the legendary Beale Street in Memphis. A three string resonator style acoustic. For the resonator "cone" I used an old 8mm film can. I wanted to use the metal film reel that came with it for a spider-type bridge support but was getting metal-on-metal vibrations/buzzing. So some remnant tile/stone samples were used for the bridge. Decorated with a vintage photo of blues legend B.B. King and a home-made tail piece from a small tin container purchased a A. Schwab's hardware store (on Beale since 1876!!!).
