Are there any pickups that would not work as well with some wood between the strings and the pickup?

Sounds really intriguing. I'll be interested to see what kinds of designs you come up with. Keep on posting. You've got good ideas!

weak, under wound pick ups wouldn't work well. It's more of an issue of the distance from the strings then interference from the wood.

I built this one just before Christmas 2013. I had built some like it with spruce tops and pine backs, but he wanted a darker guitar.  So I asked him how about all oak. He went for it When it was ready he brought a little 5 watt tube amp with him to try it out.  It just purred.  The volume and tone knobs are vintage one that I was able to pick up.

Instead of anything I've built, I'd like to submit a couple of my all-time favorites from the countless number of great submissions here. Different builders with diverse concepts, exceptional creativity and superb results::

-The Phrygian Kid's sensuous/sexy “THC” (top)

-Bluesheart’s as-original-as-they-come “Splinter Pig” (bottom)

The Phrygian Kid makes great, very organic looking guitars. Love his stuff.

TEA –N- TEA

 MY  FIRST   “  BUILD”   . AND STILL  FIRST LOVE .

 2 mini  tea boxes  .   (who  says    small  boxes are  useless  ?)  ;-)

detachable potato masher for a lap rest .. with a bracelet cuff attached ,
Turn it sideways and it sits, and looks like a gun ;-) the yardstick fretboard is cool and vintage , and with the booze flask spout makes the neck look like a chimney or smoke stack when standing up . the curved wood holding the electronics is a berry picking basket handle . with a vintage  teisco   switchplate  and  pups  , the pole the turners are on is the arm for a window scraper .   NOTE THE  TUNERS  INBETWEEN THE  PICKUPS .
The  HEADLESS  wrap around string design was a pain in the butt ,, but looks cool

The tac fret markers on the neck is also a cool design .. and allowable because she’s a slider .but the raised narrow yard stick fret board allows for fingering also.
Call her 'steam punk" if you want .. but that was not really what I was going for , it just developed into this and took on a life of its own ;-)
Hope you like her ;-)
I absolutely love this thing   and  still  have  her  ;-)
