AGP #409 - “Rosy Wood”3 String Fretless Wooden Bowl GuitarScale :654mm / 25¾ inchesStrings: .044NW/.030NW/.020NW/Tuning: F C fThe 15”x10”x3” Bowl is Rose Wood and not Acacia as I first thought, the Neck is recycled Grey Ironbark, and the 3.7k Single Pole Pick which is hardwired to the Output Jack, ain’t what it appears to be, I originally installed a 3.8k Silver Foil Soundhole Pickup, but after completion, and plugging it into the Amp, discovered the bloody thing didn’t work, after pulling it apart, couldn’t find the fault, so into the bin it went, pulled it back out and retrieved the the top Foil Section, removed the cover from a 3.7k 4 Pole Single Coil Bass Pickup, which fitted into the empty Foil Section nicely. :-)

'UJ', I first drilled some largish holes close to the the size of the 42mm x 19mm Neck, and then neatened it up with a lot of rasping, filing and sanding, same thing applied to the Pup recess. :-)

Thanks on the hole cutting info. Good job.
"Thanks Bob", very happy with the way this $2.50 (what I presume was once a Fruit Bowl) turned out! :-)
