Almost Finished...

Well the guitar is working. It still doesn't have the control plate on yet. I need to drill a couple of holes, and finish the preamp so I can put it all together. Also, I need to round over, smooth, and polish the frets. But once that is all done, I will be playing this quite a bit -- even in the dark!

First two guitars (2009-2010)

Five String Fretless Bass

• Padauk wood sides with maple thru-neck design
• Maple is only visible on the back, thanks to a DIY veneer
• Cocobolo fretboard with padauk fret markers
• 5-string Schaller bridge
• EMG select pickups
• Tape-wound bass strings (for that upright bass feel).

If you look closely at the bottom, you can see a little bit of maple visible.

 The Chestercaster

• Poplar wood body 
• Robin's egg blue "vintage" creamy color
• Hickory neck
• Jatoba (Brazillian Cherry) fretboard
• One "soap bar" pickup and one humbucker
