AGP #319 - “Cee-Gee-Cee”(3 String Guitar)Scale : 685.8mm / 27 inchesStrings : .032NW / .020NW / .015PS /Tuning: C / G / c /This build is a “Fretless Clone” of AGP #60, an earlier build I have been playing quite a lot of lately, but being Ham Fisted and using my favourite Heavy Walled Brass Slide, there was a fair bit of Fret Knocking going on, was going to raise the action, but found a couple of more cheap $1 Aluminium Steamer inserts at a local charity shop and decided to build a new Fretless Version instead, using free recycled timber of course!, the Neck is Grey Ironbark the Fretboard is Cypress Pine and a 7.2k Tele Type Neck Alnico Pickup is hardwired to the Jack, a basic simple Stick in a Tin Build, which (I think!)sounds Great! :-)

"Thanks Bones", this is my 4th build using an Aluminium Steamer, the original idea was to obtain a "Banjoey" sound, which they do, depending on how you string them, but have also discovered when lightly strung and played on the Amp clean channels , they sound great, have been working on a tune which I think suits this build nicely, hope to it post soon! :-D
"Thanks Erasmo", love using Cypress Pine in some of my builds it's easy to work, smells nice & looks great, unfortunately my supply is a bit low at the moment :-)
