AGP #248 - “Hot Tinny”(3 String Recycled Material Guitar)Scale : 622.3mm / 24½ inchesStrings : .032NW / .020NW / .014PS /Tuning: C / G / c /Like the previous build all timber is recycled (& free), neck is an unknown hardwood, box is Meranti, and the galvanised corrugated roofing iron was found at the dump. The Box & Headstock were given a touch up with the gas torch, the Box then coated with a Maple Stain with the Neck left au-natural, then all coated with a 50/50 Linseed Oil/Turpentine mixture.A 7 pole Ibanez Humbucker was fitted and created nothing but drama’s in the wiring. Had used this monster (Multi-Meter tested at 10k & 20K) in a previous build which was hardwired singularly to the Jack and sounded like crap, (swore I’d throw it away should have but! didn’t), after fitting to this one ended up reading 5k.
