3 String Baritone Licence Plate Guitar
Scale: 736.6mm/29inches

Saw this Plate on Ebay, liked it so bought it!, the Box is predominately “Cypress Pine” (Callitris), a Tree native to Australasia, and best described as a hard softwood, a 7.5k Sealed Humbucker is hardwired to the Output Jack, the timber is coated with “Organoil Natural Wax & Polish”. :-)

"Thanks Rev", just had a look at Dauphin Island, AL on good ole Google Maps & Pictures, certainly looks like an interesting place to have a holiday, but I should imagine it might be a bit Wet Wild and Windy in the Hurricane Season ?   :-)

Sweet build! We spent the third week of August in Dauphin Island, AL (near the lower left corner on your headstock map!)

"Thanks Dave", I try to stay away from cutting and covering up the numbers & artwork of the plate as much as I can, in retrospect, this one being made of Aluminium I could have possibly put a Mag Pup under the plate, have tried it with Steel Plates with no success, but have yet to try it with an Aluminium one.

I like the pup off the plate AGP. I just can cut those old plates.

"Thanks 'UJ' & Poorness", I do like to maintain as much of the Plate as possible uncluttered with Pups, Bridges & Knobs etc as possible. :-)

I like the way you put the pickup up in front of the cavity. Good idea. Love the AL outline on the headstock.

Nice flag and LPG, AGP.
