AGP #324 - ''Pudnose''

AGP #324 - “Pudnose”
(3 String Travel Guitar)
Scale: 616mm / 24¼ inches
Strings : .046NW / .032NW / .02NW /
Tuning : G / D / g /
All Timber is recycled Grey Ironbark, a 9k Dual Rail Humbucker is wired through an Artec 2.5w Speaker Drive Amp, a B10k Linear Taper Pot (Gain/Tone) and a 4-inch 5-watt 8-ohm Speaker, with an Output Jack added for an external Amp, the wiring method was the same used in my recent AGP #322 Practice Amp, which worked just fine, however!, so far not so successful in this build, with the volume being a lot lower than I expected. :-(
Having said all that this little build, roughly based on a “Pignose Travel Guitar”, sounds quite OK! through my external Amps.
The Artwork is of course in the Australian Indigenous form of Dot Painting, but with no real symbolic meanings or stories, was originally only going to be a limited amount of Dots, but like eating Peanuts, once I started I couldn’t stop. :-D

Comment by AGP # on July 2, 2018 at 4:24pm: "Thanks Dave", there's something strangely satisfying about sitting down and putting a lot of Dots with a stick dipped in paint onto something :-D

Comment by AGP # on July 2, 2018 at 4:20pm: "Thanks Bluesheart" :-)

Comment by Dave Lynas on July 2, 2018 at 3:03pm: Beautiful AGP. The dots do it! Says something to me. FUN!
