AGP #329 - ''Wamba Wamba (3)

AGP #329 - “Wamba Wamba”(3 String Solid Body Guitar)Scale: 660.4mm / 26 inchesStrings : .044NW / .028NW / .020NW /Tuning: G / D / g /The Body and Neck is Gympie Messmate Hardwood, the Scratch Plate Pic is 3mm Pine Ply, and a 4.9k Alnico Single Coil Pickup is hardwired to the Jack.I’d like to think the Gentleman pictured was a Cotton Pickin’ Bluesman from the Mississippi Delta, but in fact it is a couple of recently discovered Photo’s of one of my Great Grandfathers from my beautiful mother’s side of the family, obviously of original Australian Heritage, a fact that myself and the vast majority of his descendants are all very proud of!Not a Bluesman from the Delta, but there is mention of him playing the Violin, and by all reports and Genealogical Research, he was a “Very Colourful Character” :-D

  • "Thanks Dave", the colour part definitely runs in the family, a part of my heritage of which I'm proud of  :-)

  • Colorful must run in the family AGP. Great guitar there friend.
  • "Thanks again UJ", as I've probably said before, apart from Family, my two Passions/Addictions since retiring abt 15 yrs ago have been the "Crazy World of CBG's" and the "Time Consuming World of Genealogy"  :-)

  • There's the history I wanted.  And oh so cool, Alan.  I would be proud too.
