AGP #310- “Baby Shitar” (3 String Fretless Sitar Style Guitar)Final Modification ??Scale :628.65mm/24¾ inchesStrings :.044NW/.030NW/.020NW/Tuning: G D gA re-visit to a Build from Feb 2018, that I was never quite happy with, apart from having a very nice home grown Gourd Sound Bowl, it was Big, Awkward to play, and looked Ugly.It’s obviously a 3 String version of a Danelectro Baby Sitar, the Grey Ironbark & Forest Red Gum Neck, the 3.6k Lipstick Pickup, and the Vol Tone Output Jack, are all from the original Build, as is the Marble (Jawari) Bridge and Nut, but the Draw Pull String Tailpiece was replaced with a Stainless Steel Steamer piece.The new top and bottom of the body, which is an upscaled version of a Pignose Travel Guitar, is recycled laminated pieces of 12mm x 32mm Cedar, with a piece of 6mm Hardwood Marine Ply sandwiched between them.As shown in some of the Pics, attached by a piece of string to the Headstock Hang Hole, is a conventional 3 String Bridge, as an extra option!. :-)

Yep Bob there will be more Mod's done, probably in between new Builds, and other little projects :-)

Looking forward to seeing your "modification" projects.

"Thanks UJ", Rehashing old gits is just as much fun as building a new one, and will probably morph a few more soon, I think I have mentioned it many time before, about my dislike of Piezo Pickups, but only just realised a few days back, that I still have 45 stand alone Piezo Disc & Under Saddle Rod builds in my possession, so might start looking at turning some them into Mag-Piezo Combo Builds. :-)

Cool to see these gits evolving, morphing and you having fun driving the process.
