video here .http://www.cigarboxnation.com/video/woodpicker-with-scots-pickups-and-wooden-bigsby?xg_source=activityscott ( aka farmer ted). gifted me a pair of his hot buttered maple pickups , so i figured i needed to do a wood theme guit . and here it is . complete with wooden bigsby type tremolo . it works great , but creaks some times .. nothing a lil veggie oil wont fix ;-)5 way switch , because there is a hidden humbucker in-between his pickups too. (yes under the lid, and works fine through the wood . )yummy pups man , thanx again ;-)

and this isnt my regular swamp witch design so i'm ok with you giving it a whirl on your version. ,
note . the bottom wood bar on the tremolo is hiding a clothes hanger wire for the strings to ride over .. otherwise the strings would dig in and /or rip off the wood pole . there is alot of tension there . just a tip for ya .
and jeff , feel free to make a poster . you have 4 pics to choose from . ;-)
That is one incredible looking instrument!!!! I may have to make a poster of it. There are alot of good looking things on this site but this may be my favorite. Would love to see a video of it so we can get the tone you have created. Rip it up man, shred some Van Halen or Stevie Ray and be heard by the world!!

Oh My! Superb, and very tempting to copy! I've been busy with non-cbg things for a while, but now I realy got inspired.
thanx for the kind words sirs . ;-)
That's a fantastic build pick! Homemade whammy! That's very cool! Thanks for the info about the pup under the top, that's something I've gotta try.
thanx uncle john .. this one involved some head scratching .. ;-)
