AGP #450 - “Arfa Git”
3 String Fretless Guitar
Strings: .042NW .028NW .019NW
Tuned: G D g
The Body & Fretboard is Recycled Radiata Pine, the Neck is Recycled Merbau, coated with a Brown Stain and Citronella Lamp Oil, which has been gathering dust in the shed for a few years, worked well, smells nice & should keep the Mozzies away!
After 450 odd builds, which equates to abt 1,350 Machine Heads, your bound to get a few that are a bit worse for wear, or shoddily made, the three mismatched ones used here have been rescued by the addition of new geared cogs, the String Ferrules are ⅛ inch Rivet pieces.
A 6.2k MGB Mini Box Bucker Pup is wired through Vol and Tone Pots to the Output Jack, the Jack & Vol Tone plates are offcuts of Galvanised Roofing Strap. :-)

"Thanks Bob", in my CBG Building World, its all about using as much free recycled materials as possible. :-)

Very original and great use of materials. Great job!

"Thanks Doug", always looking outside the box for new and different build ideas, and designs, sadly I always have intentions of posting a sound sample of my latest build, but get side tracked, and before you know it I have another build on the bench, will try and get a Vid of this one done soon! :-)

You are seriously coloring outside the lines AGP; I love it! Are we gonna get to see you play this one?

"Thanks Randy & UJ", after 449 builds I was starting to run out of different build ideas, but over the years, if I did, and still do, see something different, I copy and paste it into a "Build Ideas" folder, so as is usual this wasn't my design, it was nicked from someone else!, such as these pics! ;-D
