Due
to the lack of naturally occurring building materials available
in vast areas of Australia, millions of houses, sheds. water tanks
and fences are made from galvanised steel sheets (usually corrugated
for strength). Galvanised iron, or Galvo, is now an integral
part of the Australian landscape and it seemed natural (to me
at least!) to try it in a resonator guitar.
The
result is a truly awesome sound, very loud but with a surprisingly
rounded tone. I should call it the Transcontinental guitar - genuine
Aussie material, genuine Delta sound!
