Mississippi John Jackson - Diddley Bros 2015

Posted by Joe O'Connor on March 17, 2015 at 5:52pm
My first licence plate guitar. The plate itself told me what the guitar wanted to be called. My first fret less guitar also, kinda working backwards. I love to play it. Can't believe I'd not built a fret less one before. It has a red grandis through neck design with a 25" scale length. A rosewood fingerboard (courtesy of my brothers neighbour). The body is made from a beech art box I found to be just the right size for the plate. Amplification comes from a dual piezo set up wired in parallel.

    Even better.  I just noticed the 61 head stock.

    Beautiful.  Fretless 3s are the epitome CBG types.  Plus I am a Mississippi John Hurt fan.
