AGP #491 - ''Cyp-Reso''

AGP #491 – “Cyp-Reso”
4 String Fretless Solid Body Resonator Guitar
Scale: 648mm / 25½ inches

Strings : .040NW/.026NW/.017PS/.013.5PS/
Tuning: GDGB

The Body and Neck is Cypress Pine, the Fretboard and Headstock Wings are Spotted Gum, and a 10.8k Mini Humbucker is wired through Vol and Tone Pots to the Output Jack.
Purchased an 8 Piece Dobro Guitar Resonator Kit way back when I first started my Cigar Box Guitar Addiction, some 10 years ago, and has been sitting in a cupboard ever since, waiting for me to use it, unfortunately it wasn’t until I started the build, that I found out the Cone Cover was smaller than the actual Cone Resonator, which did present a few problems during construction. :-)
