AGP #400 “XXXX Hundred”3 String Fretless GuitarScale 654mm/25¾ inchesStrings 44NW/30NW/20NW/Tuned G D gThought for a while about coming up with something special for the Four Hundred build, and decided, that why not base it on my favourite thing with the number 4 in it, “Fourex/XXXX Bitter Ale Beer”, which some mornings, seems like I drank about 400 of them the night before! :-DThe XXXX Retro Tin Sign was a $12 Ebay buy, the Box Sides Top and Neck are free recycled 19mm Solid Pine, the Box Bottom is 7mm Pine Ply, all given a tickle with the “Gas Torch”, then a coat of Golden Teak Stain, followed by a couple of coats of Clear Gloss Enamel Spray Paint.A 2.3k MGB Micro Flat Pup is wired through an MGB Vol, Tone, Jack Harness, which was one of 3 graciously gifted by him, along with a Tailpiece String Retainer, with my last order of Flat Pups. :-)

Well done AGP - 400 Builds, AWESOME ACHIEVEMENT! A very apt build, couldn't have been anything else really, ha ha!
"Thanks Jock", XXXX has been my favourite Neck Oil for as long as I can remember! :-D
Australians wouldn't give a XXXX for anything else!
Great build there, as always.
