AGP #395 - ''Scruffycita''

Posted by AGP # on July 24, 2020 at 8:52pm
AGP #395 - “Scruffycita”6 String Fretted Nylon String Slide GuitarScale : 654mm / 25¾ inchesTunning: E A D G B EStrings: .043SW/.035SW/.030SW/.040CN/.032CN/.028CN/The Acoustic Guitar was a Gift from a friendly neighbour, which was in a dirty and very distressed condition, replaced the back with Cedar Venetian Blind Slats, gave the Soundboard a light sanding, and coated both top and bottom with a brush on French Polish Lacquer.Obviously this one was inspired by Dave Lynas’s lovely 6 String Nylon String Slider “Carmencita”, I’m very happy with this $15 Wreck Resurrection, sounds very sweet and is quite loud acoustically, currently tuned to Open G (D-G-D-G-B-D), But!, I will have to brush up on my 6 String Playing Skills. :-)

    "Thanks Andries", Yep!, your dead right, the Headstock does look a little naked, needs the addition of my Trademark Skull and an AGP Signature.  :-)

    Yep! 'UJ' I think the name was appropriate, in light of where the inspiration for this build came from, :-)

    "Thanks Jock", Yep!, I think open G or open D is the only way to go!, and the Tinny Holder is still out by my chair in front of the TV, where it had quite a bit of use during the 3 games of Rugby League I watched yesterday  :-D

    "Thanks Bob", I'm happy with the end result on this "Wreck Resurrection", still has few signs of wear and tear, but it is what it is! :-)

    Love the name too.

    You've done a great refurb there AGP. Stick with the open G - life is too short for the fancy stuff!

    BTW where's the tinny holder?

    Looks great AGP. A successful resurrection. Creative use of the Venetian slats.
