AGP #451 - “Cappy” - 3 String Fretless Guitar
Scale: 673.1mm / 26½ inches
Tuned G D g
The Box is recycled scrap Pine, the Top and Bottom Sound Boards are 4mm recycled laminated Cedar Venetian Blind Slats, stained Light Brown, the Bottle Caps were all sourced from different Bottles of Beer I have tipped down my throat in years gone by, there’s 152 of them in all, abt half of them being of different varieties.
The Neck is unstained recycled Grey Ironbark, as is the recycled Oregon Pine Fretboard, the Graphics on the Fretboard were applied with a Sharpie, everything was then given several coats of canned Acrylic Clear Gloss.
A 4.6k Delta Type Single Coil Pickup is wired through an A500K Potentiometer with 0.047uF Capacitor to the Output Jack. :-)

"Thanks Bob", just part of the quest to building something different, and good idea about the Satin Black Copper Combo, I did spray a Neck once with Black & Gold, but never thought to give my nuts a spray to make them look pretty ;-D
Good One Pick, the Missus never uses those words, but there's usually a bit of noisy door closing going on when she thinks its too loud ;-D
"Top" notch AGP! Great theme and brilliant use of materials. I have sprayed some of my nuts (the fretboard type) with a mix of satin black and copper to suit certain builds.
when ya play it too loud , they say "put a lid on it " ;-)
Well, good for you on losing weight and trying hard. It does help a 'ton' to cut back on the alcohol. My weight was very good all summer and has climbed back a bit lately. Happy today to be just a few ounces above the acceptable point. Will try to get there soon. I feel better with less fat. Hope you do too.
"Thanks UJ', another one crossed off my Builds To Do List, and Linda is right, I have been a big boozer all my life, but having said that, I have been very very quiet on the Drink for the last 3 months, in order to lose some weight (9kg/19.8lb so far), and get a few medical issues in order, ie., High Cholesterol, Blood Pressure & Diabetes, which according to yesterdays bloods report, has worked.
Like Linda my better half Lynette, also likes this one, but wasn't happy with the Nuts & Threaded Rod Bridge, which was originally just the plain galvanised colour, she suggested I spray it with some Gold Paint, which I did, and as much as I don't like to admit it, she was right !!! ;-D
Linda likes it too. And she probably is thinking, "What a boozer!"
Alan, you are a genius. This is very colorful, pretty and cool. Good on yer and merry Christmas.
