AGP #212 - “Recycled Arse-Hi”
(3 String Recycled Tricone)
Scale : 641.35mm / 25 ¼inches
Strings : .042NW / .032NW / .024NW /
Tuning: GDg
The Tricones are the bottoms of 2 litre aluminium “Asahi” beers cans, which I had purchased when my doctor suggested I limit my beer intake to just a couple every day (he neglected to say what size!), the box sides are Spruce Pine (from my recycled Piano), the box top & bottom are recycled Cedar venetian blind slats, the neck is recycled Piano (some sort of Poplar I think??)and the fret Board is an unknown recycled Hardwood.
The timber was coated with a Cedar coloured stain, and then a Linseed Oil / Turpentine mixture.
The Pickup is a Chinese Ebay 5.31k - Pre Wired , Tone , Vol, Output Jack & Plate.
Most of the original ideas came from CBN uploaded photos, the cutaway idea was from a recent video posted by Norbert Kochhan, and the tricone method of construction from some 4 year old pics posted by bairfoot Cajun.

"Thanks" Jim Morris, Yes!, I too love the use of recycled stuff, I still have a lot old recycled Piano, Cedar & Hardwood etc. laying around in my sheds, and am always on the lookout for more.
Oops, my math is bad. I think 2 l. might be more than 40 oz! In that case, slow down! Or not. Oh yeah, and why can't I get 2 l. beers here in the States?
Ha! 3 a day ain't so bad even if they are 40 oz. Man I'm lovin' the use of recycled stuff here! Good work AGP.
Thanks Randy S. Bretz, since contracting the "CBG Bug" a couple of years ago, and looking at the Cigar Box Nation Pics and Vids on an almost daily basis, any good ideas and builds such as the [ Bairfoit Cajun], I usually copy and paste to folders, and refer back to them for some of my own builds.
Thanks the anonymous pick, the beer was also very yummy!!!
Brian [ Bairfoit Cajun] is a legend in the world of cgb builds and stringed instruments. Glad to see some of his old school designs are being looked at and used. When I built my washboard harp that's the first person I contacted for help...luv pickin his brain !
lookin hella yummy!!!
