AGP #450 - “Arfa Git”
3 String Fretless Guitar
Strings: .042NW .028NW .019NW
Tuned: G D g
The Body & Fretboard is Recycled Radiata Pine, the Neck is Recycled Merbau, coated with a Brown Stain and Citronella Lamp Oil, which has been gathering dust in the shed for a few years, worked well, smells nice & should keep the Mozzies away!
After 450 odd builds, which equates to abt 1,350 Machine Heads, your bound to get a few that are a bit worse for wear, or shoddily made, the three mismatched ones used here have been rescued by the addition of new geared cogs, the String Ferrules are ⅛ inch Rivet pieces.
A 6.2k MGB Mini Box Bucker Pup is wired through Vol and Tone Pots to the Output Jack, the Jack & Vol Tone plates are offcuts of Galvanised Roofing Strap. :-)

"Thanks Bob", the original Stain was called Japanese Brown, but it was very dark (nearly black), so I thinned it right down with Methylated Spirits to lighten it, and will probably lighten it a bit more! :-)

Nice and interesting build AGP.  The staining brings out the character to compliment the shape.

"Thanks BQ", always looking outside the box for something different!  :-)

"Thanks UJ", It was originally going to be built the other way round, so I guess there is a possibility to build the other half,  and then maybe, join them together to create a Twin Neck Build.

;-D ;-D

That’ll turn a few heads!

Where is the other half? I did not know right off, but the more I looked, the more I liked.
