License Plate Guitar Pt. 2 - Dirty Details Done at Home Depot

Here are some of those dirty details I promised in the last blog. I hope you enjoy them. Guitar/Hardware nerds rejoice!

Thanks again Jay Patton for all these specs.

The top of this guitar is my old license plate from 2004ish.

The bridge is a nut and bolt.

The volume knob is a valve stem cap (like on your car’s tire)

The body is made out of ¾” cedar plank.

We have 3 lil soundholes at the top so I can hear every damned mistake I make.

The construction is neck-through with a 24.75” (Gibson) scale. Does that qualify it as a Gibson Guitar....Sure!

The pickups are 2 piezo disks wired in parallel with a 250k volume pot.

The tail piece is a metal exhaust hanger/bracket

The back of the guitar is sheet metal.

The nut is cow bone

  The tuners are plain ol’ open gear tuners with pearloid keys

The fret dots are nail heads.

The neck is oak with a ¼” oak fretless fretboard (the wings on the headstock are maple)

Bootlegs (Part 1)

Hi Friends,

Last month I was playing a show at The Flip Flop Bar in Savannah, GA. A gentleman came up and asked if he could record me playing. I said yes and he stayed and watched for about 45 mins. Well last week I played at that same spot and Lo and Behold Larry Sammons showed up with a burned cd of the entire show that he had taped on 12/2/2011. Pretty rad if you ask me.(Yes, I'm bringing "rad" back).

Anywho, I thought I'd share those songs with you (totally free). I hope you like them. There is a Josh Ritter and a Black Keys cover in this in this set. Special thanks to Larry for recording this show.
