AGP #283 - “Bambi”(3 String Guitar)
Scale : 571mm / 22½ inches
Strings : .036NW / .022NW / .017NW /
Tuning: A / E / a /
The Body and Neck Timber Type is still unknown to me at this point in time, the Fret Board, Bridge and Tailpiece is, I think??, Either (Insia Bijuga) Other Names: Merbau, Kwila, Ipil, Vesi, Johnstone River Teak or Scrub Mahogany, or (Eucalyptus pellita) Other Names: Red Mahogany, Red Stringy Bark, Daintree Stringy Bark or Red Messmate, the Reso Bowl is a cheap Chinesy Bamboo Bowl, which you can buy at any local Thrift Store for abt $2 a Ton and an 8.2k Open Humbucker is hardwired to the Jack.

"Thanks" Gary & Erasmo, after 283 builds Andries I'm starting to run out of ideas for names "Bambi" refers to the Bamboo Salad Bowl :-)

"Thanks" Jim & Jeff, have used the "Vox Teardrop" design before, the Bamboo Bowl Resonator idea came from a Video posted a while back by a chap in Mankato MN, who makes Lapro Electric Resonator Guitar's, which sound GREAT!, (*Link Below) he used a Maple Resonator Cone, but having no Maple I opted for what I had on hand :-D

Nice! I've used those bowls turned the other way to make little ukes. Might have to try one upside down now.
