The same 300 year old timber, Overwound Parson street Humbucker at neck and a overwound Single coil under the ash tray all 500 k pots, and dark areas is Muskett ball holes,

Another Blues Blaster is on the Bench, Dark Horse,

She will be dressed with A Gold Bigsbee and roller Bridge, PAF reproductions, 500K pots,

But from this point Iam gonna add a Black Sunbrust and keep center pretty much as is except about 10 coats of clear Lacqure

To give you a referance to the massive size of some of the beams, next to one of my workers

That has to be the coolest wood I have ever heard of that someone is building a guitar out of!

Really cool man.

Thanks, I get very Good Vibs from this wood, and the History is unbelivable, such beautiful wood, The Blues Blaster, series of guitars have such rich fat tones, I know in most part due to the wood resonance,here is the Buildings the wood was salvaged from 317/319/321 magazine street

lookin good exactly what wood is that

This wood is Salvaged from A restoration Project On magazine street in New Orleans, the Beams were deteriorated on the ends where they rested into the masory, center sections in great shape, Beams were installed in 1814, timbers was a part of the rampart, that General Jackson along with Jean Lafittes men Built to defend New Orleans against British invaison, in the 1812 war , Ive found many Muskett ball holes and battle evidence, The wood has been part of that Building for 196 years, and by the size of the Beams the timber was right at 100 years old when harvested in one beam I counted 120 rings of growth just in one beam!! Its Red Heart Pine, or Swamp Pine, very hard and stable, used for Flooring,wall sheathing, etc.

Here is th e Latest Blaster, She will sport , Parson Street PAF duplicated Hummers,wax potted... 500K pots,3way selection 500K, and a wrap over tailpiece,Grover Metros 80.1 Mahogney Neck satin finish smooth and sweet.

She is still a Nawlins Series Guitar, made from the 300+ year old wood from New Orleans, 1 piece Body, Has resonance beyond belief, Hand Carved,

She is United with some of her sisters.

I have 2 more on the bench a Blue one and a Black one

I'm itchin to play one, but won't be back down there for a while If you feel like selling any of the wood outright - let me know.

How Big a piece ya need, ??

The beams were removed from 317 magazine street, do to damaged ends that were supported by masonry walls

They are Red Heart Pine, which is very rare today due to there very slow growth rate, early they was used for everything

Flooring , structural, supports,etc very strong and very dense and a beautiful wood

I'm itchin to play one, but won't be back down there for a while If you feel like selling any of the wood outright - let me know.

How Big a piece ya need, ??

F'n AWESOME!

Hot Is the word!! Thease are Tone monsters, Limited editions, when the wood is gone the Nawlins seris ends, they are Numbered in seqence, Iam Startin a Black Blaster with cream trim, Ive not shown the headstock for a reason, Its beautiful

now thats some wood thats just bleeding history

Your right Tim!! it freaks me to plane this timber and Think of everything its been thru, wow!

Here is a Blues Bender,The dark areas were actually Musket Ball Holes!! I filled them with clear epoxy so you can see into them!! Iam puttin some Mojo into it!! with a 2 headed crawfish from the Bell river,a Blue egg and the feather from the chickin that Layed the egg, and the Skin from a copperhead actually killed in the shop.

Been working on this seris of Blues Blasters, I recovered the Wood when removing damaged Beams in 3 buildings on Magazine street in New Orleans, they where 18"wide and 6" thick, so I am hand carving the bodies, Buildings were Built in 1814 useing timber from the Ramparts, built to defend New Orleans from The British Troops in 1812, have found Musket Balls in the wood!! too cool!!

Over wound Hummies, wax potted, 500k pots, Kicks butt

nice find, one of them should be some sort of new orleans tribute.

and that grain is groovy, I see it in a blonde, amber or natural finish. Its a crime to hide it.

Yup the head stock decal will show that, with the Blues Rat Logo and then 601 Nawlin's Blues Blaster

actually its a Metal building Galv-a-Lum self supporting 40'X60' has been thru 3 hurricanes, 2 of which was IVAN and Katrinia!! which passed directly over my farm, leveling timber but did nothing to my Dear Shop

That's some cool stuff? Any of it perfectly quartered for at least 7" across? I'd be interested to see what type of acoustic top this would make. Be it a flattop or an archtop.

Cool build! I love guitars with history in them.

Chris

yeah me too see this pic with the 2 spots on the side at the belly, Thats where there was 2 steel square nails or cut nails, to me thats history, commin out of an 1814 building into a Blues Machine!! and while its hangin in the shop curin, I keep XM74 bluesville on to really pump in Da MOJO!!hahah

Best thang is I got enough of this material to make about 40 bodies, what a find!!
