AGP #314 - “Bluey”(6 String Metal Box Guitar)Scale : 648mm / 25½inchesStrings .044NW/.034NW/.026NW/.020PS/.016PS/.012PS/Tuning : E / B / e / E / B / e /The Blue $4 Tin was a Charity Shop purchase, and have no idea what it was used for!, a Tele type 6 String Saddle with a 6.5k Single Coil Pup and a 7.6 Tele type Neck Pup are wired through a Pre-wired Gibson type Harness with individual Vol & Tones through a 3 way Switch to the Jack.The Neck is recycled Grey Ironbark, the Fretboard & Headstock Wings Are recycled Spotted Gum and the Nut is Asian Water Buffalo Bone.Obviously it was built purely for Slide, but I still wasn’t sure how, or if, I could handle the odd tuning and the 6 strings, as has been stated many times on the CBN “6 strings are 3 too many”, but in the short time I’ve been playing around with it, it’s certainly different! But! a heck of a lot of fun! :-D

"Thanks UJ", I've found it to be a great tuning, having heaps of fun playing around with it, doesn't seem to matter what strings you "Hit or Miss", it still sounds OK!, which s great if your a "Ham Fisted Bricklayer" :-D
Must have got just enough Eeeee's "Bones" to gain entry into the Navy, these days you nearly have to have a University Degree to get in, when I joined I think the "Press Gangs" were still hijacking people off the streets <:-D
