Hi all
I finished this up recently. I married a woman who makes smaller-bodied electric bass guitars for smaller people or folks with smaller hands. She had most of the tools and such, and I've long been an acoustic guitar player, so I figured, why not? I'll build one too!
It's a neck-through design, as opposed to most guitars which have bolt-on or glued-in necks. This gives it incredible sustain.
body: mahogany
carved top: padouk
laminated neck: maple and walnut
fingerboard and headstock veneer: rosewood
I had so much fun making it that I've started a second one!
