AGP: #484 #485 #486 #487
Scale: 25½ inches
4 x 3 String Fretless Hubcap Guitars

I decided to start building another Hubcap Guitar just before Xmas 2022, couldn’t decide on which one to use, so built the 4 I had in mind all at once, and finished them in early January 2023, 2 of them are from a 1973 Holden HJ Holden One Ton Ute, and the other 2 are from a 1970 HG Holden.

Details of each Build will be posted over the next few days.

"Thanks A.D.", The "General Motors Holden" line of Cars is unique to Australia, I still have 1 more Holden Hubcap left in my shed, along with a Ford Falcon and some Chrysler Valiant Caps as well, but will leave them be for a little while! ;-D
