3 string Japanese WTF?

[fett]

I snagged this at a fleamarket for $15. That's real snake skin. I think I'll put the resonator into a small Stella guitar. Unless it's vaulable.:ROTF:

Put it on ebay, it's pbly worth a metric assload of money to somebody.

It's a hillbilly shamisen.

I know. I even have 4 picks for it and a new? set of strings. It sounds like a banjo.:ROTF: :ROTF:

That is really cool! I have shamisen I picked up in Okinawa.
