first plank guitar
OK, finally finished my personal WS # 200 .... I know that it was built out of order, but having never done a plank... well.... you know...
the plank was from a 130 year old barn floor.... the seller said douglas fir.... probably right... not super hard and wanted to stain red.....
WS #200 features a maple neck stained to match, vintage looking tuners, galvanized nail head for position markers, a bolt on neck, a super hot wound pickup, a galvanized bolt for a bridge, corian nut, and volume control. Finish it off with a drawer fitting for a control plate and string thru termination and you have a complete prim axe.
See more on a slide show... follow the link
the best,
Wichita (plank playin') Sam

did you get that pickup from guitarfetish by any chance? It looks a lot like their Dearmond style single coil pickup which I have always wanted to try.
