AGP #528 - ''The Doors''

AGP #528 – “The Doors”
3 String Fretless Tin Sign Guitar
Scale : 622.3mm / 24½ inches
Strings : .048NW / .032NW / .021NW /
Tuned: G D g
This is the fourth one of (was 7 now 8) 8” x 10” Tin/Aluminium Printed Signs I recently purchased on Temu & Ebay (4 down 4 to go).
The Box Body is a solid piece of recycled 240mm x 45mm Radiata Pine, the Neck is also recycles Radiata Pine, all Timber was given the Heavy Shou Sugi Ban Burn, which ended up being stained fully Black, after another failed attempt at doing a White Based Shou Sugi Ban, will give that idea a miss in the future.
A 6k Single Coil Ceramic Pickup is wired through Vol & Tone Potes to the Output Jack. :-)

Comment by AGP # on April 8, 2024 at 9:45am: "Thanks Papa D", this Build was on fire at one stage :-D

Comment by Papa D on April 7, 2024 at 5:57pm: Knock Knock .. It lights my fire !

Comment by AGP # on April 6, 2024 at 11:53am: "Thanks Southern Ray", the 3 previous Tin Sign Builds had Box Type Body's, they sound great on the clean Amp settings, but not so much on the Dirty Grungy settings, but this one has a solid body, and does like the Growly Amp settings :-D

Comment by Southern Ray on April 5, 2024 at 4:52pm: Well, I'd love to hear that beast, AGP. Looks really good there.

Comment by AGP # on April 5, 2024 at 10:37am: "Thanks Glenn", Appreciate the Comment :-)

Comment by AGP # on April 5, 2024 at 10:33am: "Thanks Doug", sometimes a failed attempt at a particular finish, ends up being a success, I don't think this Git goes to 11, but my 100W Katana Amp might come close :-D

Comment by Glenn Kaiser on April 4, 2024 at 9:40am: Very cool indeed Doug! Kudos! -Glenn

Comment by Doug Thorsvik on April 4, 2024 at 7:43am: Ominous build Alan! Got all that black working together with the iconic sign. Does it go to 11? Then you can blow the Doors off!
