AGP #386 - “Arse-Up-Arnie”(3 String Fretted Biscuit Tin Guitar)Scale: 584.2mm / 23 inchesStrings : .050NW / .034NW / .024NW /Tuned : G / D / g /The design for this build was unashamedly pilfered from a recent post by the Englishman Paul Scofield, but done a little bit differently, ala AGP Style, and what a great design it was to ‘Nick’, because it does sound “Very Nice”.The 280x180x60mm Tin is “Arnotts”, arguably Australia’s favourite brand of Biscuits, and a nice size for making CBG’s, the riveted Sound Board is 7mm ‘Golden Teak’ stained Pine Ply, the Neck is unstained Cypress Pine, both coated with ‘Organoil’, which is a mixture of Beeswax and Citrus Oils, looks good, feels good and smells nice!, the Reso is the bowl of a $2 Stainless Steel slotted spoon, found in a Charity Shop, and a 7.8k Tele Type Neck Pickup is wired through a Tone Pot to the Output Jack.:-)

"Thanks UJ", didn't know what to call it until after it was finished, I've named a few of this brand of Tin "Arnie" before, and as it was an upside down build, I thought the name appropriate
"Thanks Denbo", Yep!, liked the idea behind Paul's method, and as I do have a healthy supply of Biscuit Tins, CBG Hardware, and, like everyone else at the moment, plenty of spare time on hand, so I got stuck straight into it :-)
