“Tin Pan Alley” 3-string Paint Can Resonator Box Guitar DIY Kit

Tap into your inner Vaudeville star and get your creative fires twangin’ with this complete Tin Pan Alley Paint Can Reso-Box Guitar Kit!

It was a warm summer day when we were spitfiring ideas for new kits in the Gitty workshop, and we came to the conclusion that something was missing from our lineup. Thus began our quest for an affordable, easy to build 3-String Resonator guitar that can be built with simple hand tools – and we think we nailed it!

This kit utilizes a modified version our popular 8 1/2″ x 11″ Box Kit for the body, one of our 3-String Fully Fretted 25″ Inch Scale Necks and a gallon-sized paint can lid. The kit also includes some of the more common CBG components such as:

1 – Set of 3-String Chrome Open Gear Tuners (2 Left/1 Right)
1 – Set of 8 Nickel-plated Box Corners
1 – Set of 2 Chrome candle-cup sound inserts
1 – Maple Small Banjo-style Bridge
6 – Long Shank Brass Eyelets
1 – Blues Blaster Acoustic Medium Strings
2 – Drywall Screws
2 – Bracing Blocks
