This was fun, folks! Made in 1898 this old washboard's got a new life as a guitar! Just two fat strings and a whole lotta thunderous bass, seems like a perfect instrument for Gee...

The pickup's glued under the "top". The aluminum surface works like a resonator cone, actuallt a nice acoustic tone too.
