Route 66 4 String

Posted by ChickenboneJohn on December 29, 2009 at 6:32am

My first license plate guitar (plate picked up for 99p on eBay). 4 String neck, hemlock with oak fretboard, nice and wide, Precision pickup, tele saddles on a scrap of aluminium..and big corner protector plates (from the local joinery supplies). I'm really pleased with this one!

that has style - what I like is at first sight you think, not sure looks too professional a build for my tastes then you explain that everything is available at next to nothing or is recycled scrap- then I want to own it! Now that has got to be as cool as it can be. An I love Chicken Head controls. Excellent - I'd vote you on to next week's show.....cheers mate
