Here's the first guitar I ever made from old barn timbers. Anders brought me a beam from the barn of his youth - built in the early 1800s in upstate New York. Later, he brought me more beams and many more white pine guitars followed. This one has a neck pickup rebuilt / rewound by Curtis Novak and a generic / built-by-slave-children-on-a-prison-boat bridge pickup. Steel pickguard and output jack plate. Ever-changing electronics...phase? kill switch? I've lost track. I've also watched Anders dangle the guitar by its Bigsby handle and shake it like a racoon that's bitten his thumb. Stays in tune.
