1972 Nebraska CornHusker License Plate Reso

1972 CornHusker Reso, 27 1/4" fretted scale, Barnwood siding from a barn on my Grandma Hazel's 1800's homestead for the body/neck/heel, the dark colored wood is actually the original red barn paint, bolt bridge and nut, chrome skull tuners, chrome strap buttons, chrome screw fret dots, humbucker pickup. Also in the photo is my custom made "MADDOG" Mojobone slide by Mr. Randy Bretz. This is a Brother build to the fine CornHusker build "PaPa Hogg" Paul Smith did, someday we will get these two gits (along with their owners) together.

  • Thanks Wes!

    Thanks Batt! It's hollow under the plate, I build the box and run a router around the inside to create a rabbit for the plate to sit down flush with the top of the box. The older plated are a lot thicker than the newer ones, I do run a through neck to and have solid wood under where the strings go through, I cut the rest down 1/4" to 3/8" to allow the plate to resonate.

    Thanks Jawbone, I agree!

    Thanks James!

    Thanks Clock, eeeeeeeeek!
