AGP #192 - “Bundy Bear Keg 1”
(3 String Keg Guitar)
Scale : 670mm / 26 ⅜inches
Strings : .042NW / .032NW / .024NW /
Tuning: GDg
Many thanks to ‘Corbett Cole’ for his great “Beer Me” build, which has inspired me to use a couple of Rum and Beer Kegs that have been kicking around my shed for a couple of years, not only do I love the look of the Keg type builds, but after building 190 odd CBG's, this one has probably the best all round sound of them all, it sounds as smooth as a babies bum on clean settings, and roars with a bit of grunge, the Neck and Bridge are "Tasmanian Oak", the timber for the Keg and Fret Board are recycled "Treated Pine Fence Palings" and the 'Relicted Keg Straps' were left over from my former life in the building trade.
The other half of the Rum keg is currently under construction in a slighly different form.

Thanks Dave, the other half of the Keg build will be finished today.
I'm with Uncle John. Excellent. Far out too...
"Thanks Uncle John", wasn't all that difficult, but did a take a bit of time and 'Patience'! something I think I'm getting a little better at.
I don't know if it's the combination of the longer scale & strings or the build materials, but it does sound great!.
Thanks Shane! - 'Cigar Box Nation Guitar Of The Day' - "I am Humbled and Honoured"
Thanks! 'George', Don't know what I done right with this one!, I can't put it down at the moment!
That is one nice build, man. I'm going to try one of these types of builds later this fall. Excellent work!
I bet that was a difficult build. Great sound! It paid off.
Excellent!
