He made everything himself. I'm attaching 2 more pics to show the sunburst on the horn and the headstock.Originally Posted by mrblanche
A beautiful piece of work. Did he make the neck, or salvage it from another guitar?
I just get played to!Originally Posted by Pami
Oh wow how impressive! What gorgeous work. You must be so very proud.
Do you play any, Linda? or do you just get played to?

wow, beautiful!!
It's a polyurethane finish. He didn't take a photo of the back of the neck but we can get one and I'll post it. The neck is 3 pieces of birch (the wood was originally posts from my friend's daughter's bed that she gave us thinking John may be able to use it one day - little did she know it would end up as a guitar neck).Originally Posted by mrblanche
Could we see the back of the neck, please?
Also, is it a lacquer or polyurethane finish?
Thanks. He made one for his brother as well and when his brother decides what pick-ups he wants to use then John will finish that one as well. He has the painted finish on it and is just waiting on his bro. I'll get a photo of that one for you when he gets it together.Originally Posted by mrblanche
Beautiful work. Now, if he'd wound his own pickups, he could truly claim it was a completely custom guitar and, as I said, the market in basses like that is $5,000-$15,000.
Will do. Bijou loves kisses, he truly does. John says that sometimes he is too needy but I personally love it.Originally Posted by sarahp
And give Bijou a big kiss on that gorgeous face for me!
