AGP #428 - ''Lammy''

AGP #428 - “Lammy” - 3 String Fretless Guitar
Scale: 584.2mm / 23 inches
Strings :.044NW/.030NW/.020NW/
Tuning: G D g
Got the idea for this laminated Sound Board build courtesy of a recent posting on a CGB Facebook site, the Bowl is some sort of Laminated Pine, which was given a tickle with the Gas Torch, the Neck is Radiata Pine & Forest Red Gum, the Headstock Wings are Merbau, the Timbers on the Sound Board radiating out from the through Neck are, Tulip Poplar, Merbau, Norway Spruce and Australian Red Cedar, the Bridge is European Beech, all timber is coated with 2 coats of “British Paints Acrylic Clear Gloss”, a 4k Gitty Flat Mount Humbucker is hardwired to the Output Jack, and grounded from the Jack to the Stainless Steel Strainer Tailpiece. :-)
