AGP #420 - “Boofwood” 3 String Fretless GuitarScale: 648mm / 25½ inches.Strings: .044NW/.030NW/.020NW/Currently Tuned: F C fAs per one of the Pics, my second son Robert (aka “Boof”) recently gifted me some nice smelling, and easy to work with, Logs and Slab of well-seasoned Camphor Laurel Wood, the body and Neck for this build was cut from the Slab, and was used ala-natural, including all the Chain Saw and Rip Saw marks etc., it was coated with a newly found finish I discovered in my local hardware store, called “Interbuild Hardwax Oil”, which is marketed as a food grade finish for cutting boards, butchers blocks and timber fruit bowls etc, it brushed on very easily, and definitely enhanced the beautiful grains, and colours in the Camphor Laurel.A 6.2k MGB Flat Mini Box Bucker Pickup is hardwired to the Jack, which includes an earth wire running to the underside of the Chrome Hardtail Bridge. :-)

"Thanks Bob", did think about putting a cover on the Flat Pup, but I personally quite like the look of the Copper and Magnets, also thought about a Timber Bridge, but went with the Metal Hardtail Bridge, mainly to make the process of grounding the Pup to the Strings a little easier! :-)

That wood finish really stands out AGP. Smart looking neck! The pickup and bridge compliment the overall look too.
