AGP #182 - “Hickory Stick”
(3 String Mattock Handle Guitar)
Scale : 622.3mm / 24½ inch
Strings : .046NW / .034NW / .026NW /
Tuning : gDG
The Mattock Handle is Hickory purchased from the local hardware store, it was previously used in an earlier build (AGP #94) which sounded a bit crappy, sometimes when you think a stick in the box is a little too much, the stick on its own seems to work just fine, I'm not sure how a Gold Foil Pickup is supposed to sound, but! I think this one is close, certainly a little different, but! in a good way.

Thanks 'Pic'.
Thanks 'Rooster', I haven't seen a lot of hickory available in the land of OZ, even though the area I live in does have quite a few commercial Pecan Nut plantations, maybe I'm not looking hard enough!.
Thanks 'Uncle John' & 'Gary W', #94 was an earlier build based on Seasick Steve's 4 string Morris Minor guitar, it had a very high action which put the Pickup a fair distance from the strings, this (or the Hubcaps), I think affected the sound, the 2 Hubcaps used were from a set of 4 “Chrysler Valiant" caps I have, and they will all turn up at some time in future builds.
yup
Wow AGP - both of these look pretty cool, but I guess #94 sounding a bit crappy is a good reason to re-purpose! Future plans to re-purpose that sweet hubcap as well?
I am liking that hubcap, git!
