AGP #300 - “UJ”
(3 String Licence Plate Guitar)
Scale : 635mm / 25inches
Strings : .048NW / .032NW / .022NW /
Tuning: G / D / g /
The Box sides are Douglas Fir stained with Japan Brown, the Box bottom is Aluminium checker plate, the Neck is Grey Ironbark & the Fretboard is Ivy Patterned White Oak, both stained with Old Baltic, as are the Yellow Wood Ash Headstock Wings, the Forest Red Gum Nut and Bridge wood, a 6.5k Tele Type Neck Pickup is hardwired to the Jack.
Found the Licence Plate on Ebay while searching for a Harley Davidson Plate, and couldn’t help myself, I thought it would be the perfect way to hit the #300 Build Mark, when I first started my CBG journey some 4 years + ago, the first member to friend me was a guy from “Iowa” called “Uncle John”, and ever since he has been a source of encouragement, constructive criticism, wit, and of course humour, not only for me, but also for countless others, #300 is not the end of the journey, but is the start of the next chapter :-D

"Thanks again Dennis", I wouldn't say it sounds "More Tinny", I have built a dozen or so Licence Plate builds, some with Metal backs and some with Timber, have never really tried to compare the difference between the 2, but this one with the checker plate back does sound quite loud un-amped, I have used Aluminium Checker Plate on a few different builds in the past, mainly because I acquired a large amount of "FREE :-)" offcut pieces some while back :-D
"Thanks Wes & James O" :-)
Another Masterpiece AGP# fine job Man
"Thanks Erasmo", Yep!, very happy with the look of the old recycled Douglas Fir Box Sides with the stain I used :-)
"Thanks Bones" :-)
A fine likeness and I am honored. Wow, that is even the year I was born! I bet it sounds great.
"Thanks Maddog" nothing's too good for the "King" of the "Cigar Box Nation" :-D
