AGP #18 - “Ex Big Smily Face”Scale: 25½ inches. Strings: .040NW/.026NW/.018NW/. Tuned A E aNot a new Aluminium Steamer Basket Guitar, but a major modification of the first one I built sometime way back in 2013, never did like the look of it, or the fact that it had one of those awful Piezo Discs fitted.The modification has obviously been turned upside down from the original build, with the Steamer Basket, now being the Top and a 9mm piece of discarded Pine Ply from an ealier build fitted to the Bottom (just happened to be the right size!).The Neck is the original unknown recycled hardwood one from “Big Smily Face”, but slightly altered to suit the new configuration, a 5.5k Alnico Single Coil Pickup is wired through a Tone Pot to the Output Jack.The original “Big Smily Face”, was fitted with a Disc Piezo, strung with .044BW/.034BW/.026BW, and tuned E A E, didn’t sound too bad, but the new mod’s are a vast improvement!! :-)

"Thanks Doug", have yet another Steamer Pan on the bench at the moment, this one will be a little 22" Short Scale Fretless 2 String Chugger. :-)
I like the look AGP! Steamer pans are cool and this one has frets too. How about a rockin’ 1-finger guitarslinger demo?
