AGP #431 - “XXXX Bitter 1”
3 String Fretless Steel Keg Baritone Guitar
Scale: 736.6mm/29 inches
Tunings: EBe & DAd
The Sound Bowl Bottom is half a 5 Litre Steel XXXX Beer Keg, the Soundboard Top is pieces of 15mm recycled treated Pine Palings, the Neck is Blackbutt, the Fretboard is Tasmanian Oak, the Soundboard and Headstock were given a bit of tickle with the Propane Gas Torch, all Timber was then given a coat of Maple Stain and 3 coats of Feast Watson Brush On French Polish.
Two 8.5k Single Coil Alnico Pickups are wired through a Prewired Fender Jazz Bass Type Harness (Separate Vol’s and Master Tone Pot), the Vol Tone Knobs are of course, Bottle Caps from my favourite Yummy Beer. :-)

Was built as an Exercise/Weights Bench, but of course was never used ;-D

Cool bench too.

"Thanks Poorness", will post the other half of the Keg Build later today, and will make a big effort to get some sound samples done soon :-)

Comment by AGP # on July 1, 2021 at 1:32pm

"Thanks UJ", I find the Flag highlights the Timber and Colours of the Build, the Bench type thing I use for taking the pics of my builds is a darkish brown thing, which sometimes makes it hard to delineate the colours of the Git and the Bench, and will try and take a break from building for a while, and do some sound samples.  :-)

Super cool AGP!!! I always look forward to seeing/hearing your builds.

Comment by Uncle John on July 1, 2021 at 1:36am

So nice the way you pose gits with the flag.

Comment by Uncle John on July 1, 2021 at 1:36am
Oh! The back is cool. I bet it has some sound volume.
