AGP #189 - “Golden Brown’’
(3 String Recycled Timber Guitar)
Scale: 635mm / 25inches
Strings : .0.42NW / .032NW / .024NW
Tuning : GDg
The Spruce Pinewood for the body was sourced from my trusty old recycled Piano, the unknown Hardwood neck was sourced from the top of an old Saw Horse, and the hand beaten & scorched metalwork was sourced from a large Baked Bean Can, the Machine Heads and screws were also “Relicted”.

Must have been a GRAND piano.

Thanks 'Tom', 'Pick' & 'Uncle John'.

The wooden soundboard/reso under the bridge, was at first, also a hand hammered Baked Bean Can bottom, but sounded pretty crappy on this particular build, so was replaced, and NO! the Piano is not ready to lie down and die in the near future, it's still got a lot of life left in it.

Very creative build!  Love that "relicted" look.

Hard thin, body.   Great wood tones.   Probably the finest recycled saw horse neck any of us has seen!   Bean cab reso.   I think the parts and description are about the most entertaining I have read. 

Is that piano ever going to die?
