So I went ahead and made me a guitar. I got me a cigar box, I cut me a round hole in the middle of it, take me a little piece of plank, nailed it onto that cigar box, and I got me some screen wire and I made me a bridge back there and raised it up high enough that it would sound inside that little box, and got me a tune out of it. I kept my tune and I played from then on. —Lightnin' Hopkins

Yes you read right, a Diddley on a tombstone. Lonnie Pitchford's headstone has a Diddley Bow on it, which oddly enough the stone was paid for by a Mr John Fogerty.

And for good measure, some Diddley Bow Stonehenge Pickups:
A Stonehenge 1 for diddley bows
A stonehenge1 Humbucker for diddley bows!
Custom Stonehenge 1 crafted for One String Willie. It's made to be self contained with a jack built into the enclosure and removable to be used on many diddleys.
