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. :-)

"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

Well, I'd love to hear that beast, AGP. Looks really good there.

"Thanks Glenn", Appreciate the Comment :-)

"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

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!
