THE LOGJAMMER 4-STRING

Posted by Jim Junksville Sharkey on December 22, 2012 at 11:53am

This one started life as a really knackered looking log, so tried to keep it as just that!I tried a new idea for the pickups as I wanted them to look like rusty nails just hammered into the log, so thats exactly what I used, left the nails in the garden for a few day and got the look I was after. The fretboard is spalted ash and you get this great looking lighteneing strike of the different coloured woods when you plank it. For the fret markers, as I wanted it to look rucked I just put a screw into the end of the soldering iron and branded them in, old door hindge for the tail piece and good old JD bottle for the bridge.
