AGP #359 - ''Beer O'Clock''

AGP #359 - “Beer O’Clock”
(3 String Block Rim Guitar)
Scale: 628.65 mm / 24¾ inches
Strings : .038NW/.024NW/.017NW/
Tuning : B F# b
The Tin Sign was a Xmas present which hung outside on the “Beer Slurping Patio”, until my addictive build a Git out anything kicked in, the Body is a 16 Piece Segment Block Rim Build of recycled Norway Spruce Pine (I think?), sourced from my trusty old deconstructed Piano, and coated with “Brown Japan Stain”, the Neck is recycled Grey Ironbark, the Fretboard is Mahogany Veneered European Poplar, again sourced from the old Piano, and coated with “Old Baltic Stain”, and a 4.3k Delta Type Pickup is hardwired to the Output Jack. :-)
