AGP #240 - “Pee90 Pan”(3 String Resophonic Guitar)Scale : 635mm / 25inchesStrings : .030NW / .018NW / .014PS /Tuning: D / A / d /For some reason the Missus didn’t like this particular Baking Pan and was going to throw it out !!!! (Shock Horror :-(), I took it to shed where I polished it, and just like the Genies Lamp, it morphed into this little “Beasty Boy”, If I was in the business of selling my builds (which I’m not!) this one would definitely be a keeper.Needless to say the Neck is ‘Recycled Piano Poplar’, and a 7.17k P90 type pickup is hardwired to the Jack.

"Thanks Jerry", like yours the Pan does not touch the Neck, was originally going to put a back on it and some Sound Holes in the top, and after a lot of previous attempts to capture "The Dobro Sound", this poor mans Dobro in its present form, comes as close to it as I think I can get, I may have finally hit on the right String combination???, the whole build cost the princely sum of $21.14 Australian Dollars ($15.62 US Dollars).
forgot to mention.,, I put a Gurka box lid on the back of mine, and put a piezo in the middle of that.,.i used plastic washers between the pan and the neck, so that the pan never touched the neck.,.,just loving this build of yours AGP.,.,

"Lol Dave", they do look like fret markers inside the box.
"Thanks Jim", the person who bought Jerry's build for $31 on Ebay, should be reported for "Stealing"
