Red Oak/Poplar neck, Red Oak fingerboard nut and bridge and saddle (saddle in this case meaning "piece of wood with holes drilled in it"). Pine internal support.

Weedwacker strings, elephant ear tuners and beer bottle opener on the headstock to hide my sloppiness.

I'm going to be cutting some f-holes this week. Also need to add a rod of some sort on the bottom... there was an IV pole int he trash at work and might find it's way to the bed of my truck.

Sounds decent enough, really really fun to finally play some rockabilly. I am planning on placing a disk peizo under the fingerboard and a rod peizo on the bridge. I am planning on a blend knob as a pick up selector and I may even place an inline volume control for the peizo under the fingerboard which I imagine the slapping could get pretty loud. So basically it's going to be wired like a P-Bass but with peizos and much less competently built.
