"Thanks UJ', as stated before this is just one of 6 Aluminium Steamer Basket Builds I've done, with more to come at some time in the future, AGP #97 - "Tenor Banjo'y Thing'y" is, as the name suggests, a 22¾ inches Scale 4 String Fretted Tenor Banjo Type Build, built back in April 2014, originally tuned g C E A, then changed strings to suit G D G B, then G C G C and G D G D, but as with most of the 4 String builds I have, I struggle to make any sense out of them, and use them properly with my Slide only style of playing, and with all these changes to strings and tunings, #97 never did sound any good, so, probably much to your disgust ;-{ , it will be converted to a 3 String GDg build later today, along with a different Nut, Bridge and Tailpiece, to try and get a decent sound out of it.  :-)

"Thanks Bob "Ambrose" Negus ", the Laminated Neck is one of 9 I recently glued together, using left over off cuts from previous builds, and the tailpiece is one of my favourites, which I use regularly. :-)

Very well done, AGP. You win the prize for building the most and most varied CBG and related guitars.

Great use of materials AGP!  The holes in the steamer tin go well with the strainer tailpiece... nice looking neck too!
