Congrats Denis. Nice colour. Beautiful grain!


Didn't some years of the LP Bass have a volute?

Absolutely! The Triumph that I owned has a volute.
But not nearly as huge as this new Studio NR Tbird.

You know, that lingered in my mind so much that I even looked at mine (which has no volute) and then shrugged ("must have misremembered something then ....") and posted. So the Hobbit is the exception then, no TBird had it and the EBs of the volute years already had maple necks.

Good looking T-bird there, but did they run out of walnut stain for the back of the neck or something??

The maho guitars did.

The Les Paul Signature bass did also...........................

Maple - I had thought of that. I believe the only non-maho body basses with Gibson who had maho necks  were the EB-2 and the EB-750 - not a great combo in either of them. It kind of dulls the maple sound, but not in a good way.
