Missouri LPG

Posted by Uncle John on June 17, 2016 at 12:42pm
When I was down at the St. Louis Clubhouse meeting, Gary Herget thought an Iowan like me needed a Missouri LPG. He gifted me the license plate and a nice piece of native Missouri white oak. Added to that, Mr.C gifted me the good looking home made pickup.As usual with my stuff, 'Errors were made'. The jack space is crowded and touchy to how the cable is inserted. And part of the 5th fret is high. Once those two things are fixed, it should be really nice.It plays easy (except for that 5th fret)and sounds good both plugged and unplugged.Tuning is GDg. Scale is 25 inches.

    Thanks, guys.   I hope to get it cooking this week.   Got a busy next few days with likely no good shop time.   Dave, that is a Missouri tax token.   Some time back, I bought a little baggie full of various tokens,  This one has an outline of the state of Missouri.

    That's a cool one Uncle John. I'm sure the jack and fret5 are easy to sort out.

    Hey Uncle, is the dot on the head where a fourth tuner was drilled? Is it a coin? I sure like this one Uncle John. If you ever want to part with it, think of me. We could swap or I'd build you a banjer or something special. .. Dave

    UJ, any Missouri musician would be proud to own this LPG. You did a great job, you rose to the challenge and conquered. Attaboy!

    Got any sweet fretting tools, Unc? The multi-length fret straight edges (to span three frets to check for rocking, ergo high frets) is a personal favorite!
