AGP #241 - “******* Telstra”
(3 String Modem Guitar)
Scale: 660.4mm / 26 inches
Gitty Blues Blaster Strings : .044BW / .034BW / .026BW /

An old “Kaput” modem from a recent 5 week dispute with my Telecommunications Provider, couldn’t throw it out!, had CBG written all over it!, the Neck is Merbau with a White Oak Vine Patterned Fretboard, an Under Saddle Piezo Pickup is hardwired to the Jack, and like the Provider is causing me a bit of grief at the moment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Thanks Rick Alexander", fortunately we don't have any Skunks in the Land Down Under :-)

That's great AGP! 

My "CBG eye" almost got me sprayed by a skunk the other night, I was transfixed on something left by the trash bin.

"Thanks Jim", I look at everything with "CBG Eyes" before I throw anything out!!!!!!!

Pretty cool AGP. I have a busted laptop that I'm gonna look at differently now.

"Thanks Uncle John", Yep!, I think it's a winner in the looks department, actually the body is Black and the Background Boards are Grey, don't know where the Blue Tones come from, but it is a new Phone/Camera, which I'm still learning to use!

Built mainly as Wall Hanger to put near my computer, to remind me of the stress that this useless mob called Telstra inflicted on me, But!, I will fight with it and fix it, just as I did with them!!  ;-)

"Thanks Jameo", actually the body is Black, and I too like the White neck, it's just a pity it sounds like crap! (at the moment!)

"Thanks Pick", ya can't get connected with this one!, that was the problem!!!!!! :-(

Comment by Uncle John on June 26, 2016 at 12:26am

That came out a winner.  I like the blue board back ground too.  Yup, some time they fight us.  My last one, the Missouri LPG did that.  Finally a good playing git.
