AGP #524 – “Symmetry”3 String Fretless GuitarScale : 654mm / 25¾”Strings : .044NW / .030NW / .020NW /Tuned: G D gGot the inspiration for the Shape of this Build when I stumbled across a Utube Video about a Guitar called Symetress, built by a couple of Guitar Builders somewhere in the USA called Alder and Main, loved the look of it so decided to do a similar scaled down CBG Type version.The through Body Neck is Recycled (I think) Blackbutt Hardwood, the Body and Headstock Wings are recycled Radiata Pine, the Wings were coated with a Cedar Stain, the Neck is Au-Natural, both coated with Linseed Oil and Paste Wax.The 2 Alnico Single Coil Pickups are wired as per a Fender Precision Bass Wiring Diagram, through 250k Pots to the Output Jack.All the Copper Work was made by Moi, from opened up and flattened pieces of scrap ½” and ¾” Copper Plumbers Pipe. :-)

"Thanx Southern Ray", I loved the shape of this body from the first time I seen it, and the added bonus was, when I sat down to play it, the contours fiitted perfectly to my style of playing ie; seated with the Git on my resting on my thighs, this one at the widest point is 10", and the length is 12", and I already have thoughts in my mind abt doing a bit bigger Body Build sometime in the future. :-)
