MIKE JACKSON'S WHITE RED CEDAR CUSTOM

My old pal Mike Jackson's guitar: whitewashed western red body that began its vocational life as a stave in a locomotive water tank on the trans-American railroad, circa late-1860s. In 1902, made redundant by a change in locomotive efficiency, it was torn down and recoopered into a pickle vat stave at a Fort Collins, CO pickle operation. In 1992, it was torn down again and sat dormant, air drying in the Rocky Mountains, until 2012 when it found itself assembled into this guitar.

Maple / rosewood neck, bakelite pickguard, Lollar Special bridge pickup, Lollar El Rayo neck pickup. Wait til you hear him play it.
