AGP #18 - ''Ex Big Smiley Face'' Rebuild

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!! :-)

  • A big THANK YOU from me 'UJ', I would like nothing more than to knock on your door, with a 4 String Tenor Build, a Six Pack of fine Aussie Beer and some nice Soft Beef Jerky, obviously that's not going to happen anytime in the near future, with the dreaded Covid Crisis, will message you with a possible solution!  :-) 

  •  A big LIKE from me, A G Pee.  The only thing that could improve it would be you converting it to a four putting a bow on it and knocking on my front door with it and a six pack of good, high test beer.   Hmmm.  And maybe some beef jerky.  Not the teeth breaking kind.
