AGP #333 - “Bones”(3 String Cigar Box Guitar)Scale : 571mm / 22½inchesStrings : .036NW / .021NW / .017PS /Tuning : / B / F# / b /This Build was obviously inspired by my fellow Aussie Mate and ex Sailor Jeff ‘Bones’ Reilly from the “State Down Under” in the “Land Down Under”, so no prizes for guessing who it was named after, and of course the Neck is Tasmanian Oak, which was given a coat of 50/50 Linseed Oil & Turps, a 3 Pole Delta Type Pickup is hardwire to the Jack, the box is another one that has sat in the shed for years, and had not been used because of my mistaken belief that they were too small, but!, this one and #331, are a “Fair Dinkum Hoot” to play. :-D

"Thanks UJ", Yep!, after a bit of a lay off from building I'm back in the shed having fun :-D however!, as much as 'Bones' likes the Tasmanian Oak that I used for the Neck, and although its cheap, looks good and is in plentiful supply, I normally don't find its much fun to work with, but that's just me :-)
