A LONG TIME AGO, IN A GALAXY FAR, FAR AWAY...

I think a 650 with it's maple fretboard painted black would be a cool project. When I first saw this 425, I thought it was a 650. If this is what Luke and Darth look like, I'd like to see Princess Lea

Another knock out punch, Paul. I have always thought that 425 bridge was ahead of its time.

So where is the wookie version?

Great pair Paul! I enjoyed the intro too funny!

So where is the wookie version?

ZZ Top kidnapped all of those and bleached them.

I actually thought about replying exactly that, but somehow decided not to... Paul can even read thoughts...

And I hear it's tight
most every night,
but now I might be mistaken.

Depends on how dark it is.

Very cool! What a sweet looking paired!
Well, JETGLO ROCKS!

You bet. I love JG

[johnallg]

Will it end up short scale or long scale? i.e. how long will his um, fretboard lengthen? But then, it won't be a fretboard as he grows, will it.

[jingle_jangle]

Technically, you're right, of course, John.

I've always made the distinction between "fingerboards" (string instruments without frets, like violins, violas, cellos, and double basses), and "fretboards" (fretted instruments of all sorts).

This bass, being fretless, has a fingerboard.

[antipodean]

Whilst I usually try to resist being crude, all I can say is: that guitar is the dog's doodahs Paul!

[bassduke49]

For consistency, I've used "fingerboard" on all mentions in my book. So I have a "20-fret fingerboard" or a "fretless fingerboard" instead of the redundant-sounding "20-fret fretboard" and "fretless fretboard."
