AGP #364 – “Château de Wâkefield”4 String Tenor Wine Box GuitarScale: 584.2mm/23inchesStrings: .032NW/.024NW/.018PS/.014PS/Tuning : DGBEThe Wine Box was a generous gift from some long time good friends!It has solid 7mm Pine sides and 4mm Pine Plywood top & bottom, the laminated neck is recycled bits of Tasmanian Oak and Forest Red Gum, and the Fretboard is recycled Spotted Gum, a 6.2k MGB Mini Box Bucker Pickup is hardwired to the Output Jack.This Box was put on the work bench and taken off several times due to me not knowing what type of build to best use for this lovely Wine Box, I think the final decision was the right one!, But I’m not sure if I’m happy with the String Gauges I’ve used, I still have to lower the action a bit more yet, but the strings do seem a bit tight, and harsh on my poor old hamfisted bricklayer’s fingertips.Perhaps the “King of the Tenor Guitar” Uncle John may enlighten me with some of his vast knowledge of all things Tenorish! :-)

Excellent use of that wine box AGP! Love the hexagonal detailing on the sound holes and the headstock! Good use of materials.
