AGP #359 - “Beer O’Clock”
(3 String Block Rim Guitar)
Scale: 628.65 mm / 24¾ inches
Strings : .038NW/.024NW/.017NW/
Tuning : B F# b
The Tin Sign was a Xmas present which hung outside on the “Beer Slurping Patio”, until my addictive build a Git out anything kicked in, the Body is a 16 Piece Segment Block Rim Build of recycled Norway Spruce Pine (I think?), sourced from my trusty old deconstructed Piano, and coated with “Brown Japan Stain”, the Neck is recycled Grey Ironbark, the Fretboard is Mahogany Veneered European Poplar, again sourced from the old Piano, and coated with “Old Baltic Stain”, and a 4.3k Delta Type Pickup is hardwired to the Output Jack. :-)

Thanks 'UJ', It's been a couple of yrs since I done the last Block Rim Build, so had to have a of a bit think to remember how I done them!, went through a bit of a stage back then of Block Rim Mania, from memory started by a Jim Morris Banjo Build, built 7 different Banjo Git builds, this one is number 8, it was one those build as you go along builds, and the Beer Caps were an obvious inclusion, and you're spot on with the Hank Song, it was the first thing I thought of when starting the build, one of my fave Hank songs, as is the Hank / Bocephus version. :-)

"Thanks Poorness", have been saving Beer Caps for yrs with the intention of using some of them when I get around to building what is known Down Under as a Lagerphone, have also used them in a few other Beer orientated builds, and also as Vol Tone Knobs etc. :-)

"Thanks Bob", Great Description!  :-D

"Thanks Bones", one of the main reasons I spend a fair bit of time in the shed building Gits, is that it keeps me out of the Beer Fridge for as long as possible before rippin' the top off one,

Cheers & Beers Cobber  :-)

Very skilled planning, crafting and building, my friend. I think I would start off with Hank's There's A Tear In My Beer. A 2nd on the beer caps - takes it from great to greater.

What a cool design. I love all the beer caps.
