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

All things worth doing take time, or so I've been told.
Wichita Sam said:Thanks for all the props.... it was a fun build but took a lot more time preping the plank than just cutting into a CB....
