AGP #500 – “D”3 String Fretless GuitarScale: 25¼ inchesStrings : .042NW/.028NW/.020NW/Tunings: G D gAfter 10 years of building CBG Type Guitars, I finally reached Build Number #500, spent a week or two trying to come up with a “Special Build” to celebrate the 500th, and finally decided that out of all my Builds, the First One I ever did was Pretty Special, so decided to do an updated Clone Version of AGP #1 – “Number One”.All Timber is Recycled, the Box Sides are 14mm Solid Pine, the Box Bottom is 4mm Pine Plywood, the Box Top is 19mm Solid Pine, the Neck is Solid Pine & European Birch, the Fretboard is Spotted Gum, all timber was given a generous coat of an Oak Stain, and then sprayed with Rustoleum Clear Satin Enamel.An 18.7k Quad Rail Humbucker is Coil Split through a 3 Way Switch, then Vol & Tone Pots to the Output Jack.This Pickup is purely for making Loud Distorted Noises, even when played as a Split Single Coil, which I thought would have mellowed it out a bit, but doesn’t seem to make a lot of difference, so will probably do away with the split Coil Idea, and add a separate Single Coil Pup in the Neck Position. :-)

"Thanks CLG", have done a few Builds using the Oak Stain, Chrome Pickups & Hardware Combination, Looks Great to my Eyes.
PS. Have since added a 6k Chrome Tele Type Single Coil Pup in the Neck Position. :-)
Beautiful
"Thanks UJ" :-)
# 500 is a BEAUTY!
