AGP #247 - “Cold Cow”
(4 String Recycled Material Guitar)
Scale : 648mm / 25½inches
Strings : .042NW/.030NW/.018PS/.015PS/
Tuning: G / D / g / B /

Unashamedly nicked the idea for this one from “Shane Wagstaff’s” Wall Light Build. Couldn’t source a wall light, so had to settle for a ceiling light cover. All timber is recycled (& free), neck is from my recycled Piano (Poplar I think?), the fret board is an unknown hardwood, soundboard wings are Meranti, the finish on which is a failed attempt at Crackle Paint, the “Cold Cow” name comes from the fact that it looks like its “Fresian” , a 6.7k Tele Type Neck Pickup was used, the string gauges mimic the 4 low strings of the Ernie Ball Keith Richards Five String Set.
