Presenting the latest creation from Eric Mecum...

We've looked at a couple of Eric's eccentric six-string creations before (here and here), and pictured above is his latest. In Eric's own words, it:

...still needs a little tweaking but sounds cool. Old 1986 Seymour Duncan pickup. Teisco neck. Pipe fittings box.

Thanks for sharing that with us, Eric. Nice to have a guitar which you can keep your liquor and jazz mags inside.

More from Eric Mecum: plywood body guitar

guitarz.blogspot.com:

The missing part of the NO-caster was a vehicle for an old archtop pickup. Neck and bridge were left over parts from another Mississippi Gabe Carter project. Back board isn't needed but gives it some girth. Peavey neck has a great radius. The pickup's self-contained cord is only 4 feet long so I taped a coupler to back, acts as jack. Pickup sounds fricken amazing!
