AGP #471 – “OMG 4”3 String Fretless Gourd GuitarScale: 24 inchesStrings: .049NW .034NW .022NWTuned: F C fThis Build was first done 26th July 2022, and modified 26th August 2002, it started out life in a completely different format, for some reason I thought I needed a Diatonically Fretted Stick Dulcimer, hence the Light Gauge Strings and Frets, but soon found out, that once again, due to Fat Stubby Arthritic Fingers, I suck at Fretting Chords, so off came the Frets, which were replaced by Chromatic Pine Wood Filler Fret Markers, and then strung up with heavier strings.The Gourd is the offcut from my recently modified build AGP #221, the Sound Board is laminated pieces of 4mm thick Cedar Venetian Blind Slats, the Bridge is Forest Red Gum, the Artwork surrounding the Sound Hole was Pyrographed, and a 5.6k Ceramic Single Coil Pickup is wired through Tone and Volume Pots to the Output Jack.The Neck is recycled laminated Grey Ironbark, Victorian Ash and Radiata Pine.All Timbers and the Gourd was coated with Feast Watson Shellac. :-)
