AGP #481 - ''P-O-Q''

AGP #481 – “P-O-Q”
3 String Fretless Beer Bottle Guitar
Strings: .040NW .026NW .018NW
Tuning: A E a

Yet another Build about one of my favourite subjects, “XXXX Bitter Ale”, I don’t normally drink Tallies these days, so had to buy a couple, and force myself to drink the contents (Yum Yum).

This time the box was not built out of my usual recycled timber, but out of a brand new 16 x 100 x 1800mm Treated Radiata Pine Fence Paling, at the princely sum of $2.59AUD, The Pyrography was added for a bit of Pizzaz.
The Neck is Recycled Merbau, the Fretboard and Headstock Wings are Recycled Cypress Pine, coated with Organoil Natural Wax and Polish, and the Box Body is left Au-Natural.
A 4k Gitty Flat Mounted Humbucker is hardwired to the Output Jack. :-)

Comment by AGP # on November 15, 2022 at 8:37am: "Thanks UJ", there will be a few more of these cheap Pine Paling Builds in the future, they have a nice rustic look, easy timber to work with, pyrograph, and I dare say, will also look great after being given the treatment with a gas torch :-D

Comment by Uncle John on November 15, 2022 at 2:22am: Something different for sure. I like the look. Good of you to suffer for our art.
