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 John!

    Thanks Darryl! Nope, the river is still full and still goin' south. This photo was taken at DeSoto Bend Wildlife Refuge which is right across the river on the Iowa side, oddly enough though even though it's on the Iowa side where these photo's were taken is on Nebraska soil. I actually own some ground upriver on the Iowa side, but it is Nebraska ground and I pay my Real Estate taxes in Burt County Nebraska. The Corps of Engineers changed the way the river  flows and cut some ground off is how it came about.

    Interesting facts John! Keokuk just has a cool American Indian vibe to it!

    But if ya want real CORN fed tone, a NEBRASKA plate is the only way to go. lol  :-)

    I had to look up Iowa county 99.  It's Lee county, the SE most county in Iowa- the boot heel!   Keokuk is one town down there.   Don't the Iowa plates have meatier, corn fed tone?

    Just down the road from you John! :-)

    Thanks so much my Friend!!!

    Man, that seems like unfair advantage!  You build some of the coolest guitars and you DO find the coolest photo sites.
