I built this little fella about a year ago for a local musician. He can be seen playing it out regularly. Yellow pine with a red oak fretboard. 25” scale length. Brass nut, top loader bridge, humbucking pickup with coil tap switch. Strung with .014 – .052 strings. You can get some swampy mojo out of this one.

Oh man, that is sweet! Do the “spine spikes” affect the playability at all?

Thanks for all the nice comments. The “spikes” have actually been shaped so that the player can ride the ridge with his finger, and feel when his bar hits the right spots. This was not planned, but thought of by the player, after he had played it for a couple of months. I also adapted it to a keyboard stand so he could play it standing. The fretboard actually sits a bit higher than the spikes towards the tail, where it’s narrower.
Have your say...
