AGP #479 – “Frank‘n’Stein”
3 String Fretless Guitar
Strings: .044NW .030NW .020NW
Tuning: G D g
This Build was done for 2 reasons, one to experiment with the combining of two pickups, to create one high output Humbucker type setup, and two to use some of the sheet of 1200x600x7mm Red Oak (outer layers & Poplar inner layers) Plywood, I purchased 11 months ago, which make up the Top and Bottom Soundboards.
The Box Frame and Headstock wings are Cypress Pine, and the Neck is Merbau, all Timber was given 3 coats of Dewaxed Blonde Shellac, unfortunately the Pics I took, don’t really show up the real beauty of the Red Oak Ply & the Cypress Pine.
A 9.4k Single Coil Alnico Pickup, and a 15.4k Double Coil Humbucker were joined together to form (I guess??) is one 20k High Output Humbucker, hence the “Beast”ly name. :-)

"Thanks Doug", Yep!, originally thought it would be up around the 24.8k mark, but after completing the build, it did end up giving an output reading of 20k. :-)
Clean looking build Alan! I like the sound holes. Did you achieve the 20k high output?
