When Kenny was getting the pickguard made I said he should try a double guard and it turned out great.
No, I don't play the sax.

"Maple on the back looks lovely"

I'm glad Kenny found a way to save that back with a transparent color. The back of that bass is really nice.

Wish we could have made the back lighter. Ah well.

Bookend matching is gorgeous, did the chequered binding make it through, hard to tell from the other pics ??

Now, is it just me, or does anyone else see John Hall smiling out of the center of that Bookend Maple ..

You're thinking of the pancake from Denny's that the eBay guy claimed had an image of the Virgin Mary cooked into it! Image

This one's different! Can't you see, that's clearly Lincoln giving the Gettysburg Address?

Great googily-moogily! That looks amazing Kenny! It's hard to tell from the pics, but didn't that bass have some nasty routes? Are these covered up by an opaque finish on the front?
