PIman Nashville

The body is made from 100 year old Pitch Pine – I acquired this wood from a local carpenter’s shop when they were renovating a large property. It’s really heavy, so I’ve used a ‘thinline’ design with a thin Red Zebra top. The internal carve to match the belly carve was fun to do and has been finished with oil to highlight the grain – it can be clearly seen through the Fender-style F-hole. The top is finished with a single black binding.

The pickup arrangement is ‘Nashville’, but uses Strat pickups for both middle and neck – Switch Position 2 gives a Telecaster middle position (Bridge and Neck).
