Macanudo electric 3-string

Half a P-bass pickup. Poplar neck. Nailhead fret dots. Allen wrench saddle (short side is through lid to ground strings. Works perfectly). Deer bone nut.

No, this would be the one your landlord got. (If it matches the description... mobile won't let me see the picture lol).

Is that Tyler's guitar?

Yeah, the allen wrench ground just made sense lol. The other P-bass half I had went on a 4-stringer, so I haven't. I didn't expect this build to be so twangy, or I would have just put it flush against the neck. I was trying to to a clearer bass,warmer treble thing with the angle on this one... don't think it mattered haha.

Got to use your allen wrench ground. Have you ever positioned the three strings between the poles of a P Bass pickup? It works.

Thanks. This has a real unique sound. Full, but loads of twang. I'll have to do a vid soon. I have it tuned to DAd right now... chunky.
