AGP #340 - ''Big Bum Scrap''
AGP #340 - “Big Bum Scrap” - Scale: 648mm/25½inches
Tuning: GDg - Strings : .040NW/.028NW/.020NW/
The body is the centre offcuts from the previous AGP #339 build, the Neck is Recycled Poplar, the Reso Cone is a beaten out & heat treated Baked Bean Can bottom, the Output Jack Plate, Tailpiece & 4.2k 4 Pole Bass Pickup Cover, are old bashed & burnt Gal’ Roofing Iron & I used some odd mismatched Machine Heads that we all seem to end up with for some reason :-D

"Thanks Denbo", Yep!, the Budget Scrapper does have a lot going for it :-D

"Thanks Bones", this was a bonus build from exactly what the name suggests, scraps & odds and ends :-D

I would’ve done the same? Be a shame not to build something out of it. I’m really digging that!!!
