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.

Love guitars AND old barns!! win win... very cool Sam.
Amazing guitar, I love the broken/gnarled look to the wood, like grandma's coffee table
If you form a group then I will have to build a plank guitar, oh boy I don't think my wife can take another diversion...plank hunting!
Oh yeah nice plank guitar Sam.

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....

the best,

Sam
