This is a right handed solid body electric bass guitar made from cherry, finished in a translucent indigo blue. The body is 1.75 inches thick and was hand shaped on a sander with a ¼ round edge all the way around. The body weighs in at 4.8 lbs. This bass has all black hardware including a Hipshot A Style bridge and Hipshot Ultralite Y-key tuners. The pickup configuration is P-bass style pickup in the neck/mid position and a J-bass style in the bridge position. I wound these pickups myself and they measure out as follows; the neck pickup has .187” ALNICO 5 magnets and reads at 10k and the bridge pickup has .187”” ALINCO 5 magnets and reads at 9.8k. The electronics are wired with a volume pot for each pickup and a tone pot, allowing for a blend of the two pickups together. The neck is 22 frets and bolted on with recessed black ferrules for a sleek look. The neck is all maple with a 9.5” radius and custom rosewood slot position markers. The truss rod is a dual action spoke type and located at the heel end. My necks are all hand carved and the profile is generally considered a “C” shape, however the nut width on this neck is 1.50” and the feel at the nut end is a little deeper/rounder. This one measures .860” (21.844mm) at the 1st fret and .909” (23.089mm) at the 12^th fret, it’s quite comfortable. The frets are Wide/High Nickel-Silver .100″ wide by .050″ high. The nut was hand shaped from a buffalo horn.

My guitars are set up to play with great action. The frets have been leveled, crowned and polished. The string height at the 1^st fret is .012” and at the 12^th fret it’s .090”. You’ll notice how smooth they are right away.
