oooh boy . . . you hit kind of a sore spot, here Jerry. Johnny Lowebow is a bit sensitive about other folks building what he considers his proprietary design. I'm afraid you're not likely to get a whole bunch of support or guidance on this one.

My bad, I guess I thought it was one of those things that everyone was trying.
Could very well be . . . . just thought I'd warn the unsuspecting about a possible shit-storm. I've lived through this one before. He-he.
Lenny,
While I completely agree with what you are saying (not arguing with you that is), his designs are not completely original. Mac Arnold built a gas can guitar in the same fashion in the 50s and still uses it today. I believe that would be like trying to "copyright" something that might not be completely his -- unless there is a specific method in which he builds them or a wiring or construction method he uses.

Wes, Thanks for the Mac Arnold link . . . . I hadn't been aware of him. There's actually a great recording on that site of him telling the story of his brother building a gas can guitar in 1947!
It's worth a listen.

Great stuff!
