AGP #237 - ‘’Pee~Anna’’
(3 String 10½” Block Rim Guitar)
Scale : 648mm / 25½inches
Strings : .046NW / .030NW / .020NW /
Tuning: G / D / g /
All timber is from my seemingly never ending supply of recycled Piano, the Block Rim is Spruce Pine from the Piano frame, the 8mm top and bottom Spruce Pine soundboards are from the Piano soundboard, the neck is Poplar veneered with Maple (I think?), the bridge is an Ebony Piano Key, and the nut is a bit of unknown hardwood from somewhere in the Piano, all timber is coated with “Gilly’s Clear Timber Wax”, a 7.58k Zebra Faced Humbucker is hard wired to the Jack.

"BAHAHA" the anonymous pick, I have heard of a similar syndrome, but thought it only applied to the fairer sex :-)

"Thanks the anonymous pick", don't know about calling it the Amish stop sign, maybe the Block Rim stop sign, as I think the "Block Rim Fever" building has subsided!!!!!!!

"Thanks Uncle John", first use of this headstock design, always looking for something different!!!, it was a tossup between "Pie-Anna" and "Pee-Anna" my wicked mind chose the second one!!!

"Thanks Jim Morris", I was nearly tempted to buy another really cheap wrecked Piano a couple of days ago, but still have quite a bit more to use from the first one!!!

"Thanks Jerry Jordan", yep I think the Piano wood sounds great, and is easy to work with.

"Thanks  smilingdog1", my Block Rim builds started out as Banjo's, but the last couple have been built in the 3 string CBG style!
