AGP #311 - “King Brown” - (3 String Guitar)
Scale : 648mm / 25½inches - Tuning : G / D / g /
Strings : .045NW / .030NW / .021NW /
This build is a perfect example of someone doing something who doesn’t profess to know a lot about Electronics, the idea was, to do a build with a Vol, Tone & a Distortion Knob, going through a 3 way switch to an optional External Jack or an optional Onboard 9v Battery Powered 2.5W Amp, and strangely enough it all seems to work! :-), the only downside at the moment is the 2 X 5-watt 8-ohms TV Speakers I used work, but crackle and fart and are very low in volume :-(, will order a Gitty 3-inch 4-watt 8-ohm Amp Speaker to see if that remedies the problem, if not the Amp will come out and a few mods made, probably add a Bridge Pup.
Having said all that! I’m pretty happy with the look and the good acoustic sound of the (nearly!) finished build at the moment, the Box is 6mm Marine Grade Hardwood Ply, the Neck is Meranti, the Fretboard & Headstock Wings are Forest Red Gum and a 7.8k Humbucker situated underneath the ”King Brown Premium Pomade Tin” (didn’t have a “Dapper Dan Tin”) supplies the Noise, was tossing up about what to do with the finish on the Box & Neck, leave it natural or stain it, but I kept hearing one of those little voices that seems to come from ones work bench every now and then!, it was the Propane Gas Bottle saying use me!-use me! :-D
PS: Waiting for a delivery of Black Chicken Knobs :-)

"Thanks Dave" Yep!, I do usually try to keep it simple, But! this was something I had to try, and even if all the Hi-Tec stuff fails, it's still a nice sounding build :-)
"Thanks Bones" for your encouraging comments :-)
Hi Tec AGP. I know you usually go simple. I’ll just keep dragging my knuckles and grunting... Good though..
Super nice mate your work is outstanding.
