Southern Yellow Pine body, maple neck/heel w/ walnut fret dots, 26" fretted scale, onyx nut/bolt saddle/bridge, humbucker pickup w/ strat volume knob, chrome strap buttons, heavy Blues Breaker Strings. I love the low end growl from this git, really happy with the sound!!! Photo's taken at the Bertrand Steamship wreckage site at the DeSoto Wildlife Refuge in Iowa.

Thanks S.D.! Hollow body with a neck through design. I think it plays nicer with the strings going thru the neck, it just has a nice tone to it. On these plate resos in particular. I cut the neck down just below the plate just beyond the bridge so the plate doesn't touch anything beyond there.
Nice! Did you make that box? Is this a solidbody? I'm working on one right now where I am running the strings through the body, like this, ala Fender. Seems like a good way to get it closer to the saddle & get a good break angle.

Aha. Cool. I see what you did now. Neat-o!
