AGP #336 - “Claire”(3 String Biscuit Tin Guitar) - Scale : 635mm / 25 inchesStrings : .044BW / .030BW / .020PS / - Tuning: G / D / g /The Tin was gifted by a friend, the Neck is Tasmanian Oak, finished with “British Paints One Coat Clear Acrylic Gloss”, a 35mm Disc Piezo is recessed and embedded with hot glue in the through neck just under the Nurses face, and a Rod Piezo is likewise embedded just under the Bridge, both are wired in Parallel straight to the Jack, don’t normally like or use Piezo Pickups, but my faith in them has been now renewed somewhat, as this combination sounds just fine.The Lady featured on the Neck & Fretboard was one of the very early Australian Nurses to have served in France during WW1, and a detailed account of her Life and Times can be found on the “Australian War Memorial” website. :-)
