You, sir, do really fine work!

Truly a thing of beauty!

Thanx guys.

Found another pic.
Lots of laundry pins in the process of glueing the lining blocks to the sides.

I think this is the last picture that I have of the building process.

Easily the most beautiful ABG I have ever seen!
Simply Stunning!

Fantastic! You have a lot more patience than I do!

Well... it was certainly put to the test!

Bill... you'll have to add pegs to your list of essential luthier's tools...

Yeah, cool addition! one day, when I have a a lot of time, I do want to build some true hollow bodies and bend some wood!

Great work! Congratulations in finishing the project. A lot of people would have given up after such a long period.

And I have to agree with everyone here: that's a really pretty bass!
I really love the whole design. It does look like a really expensive ABG!

Two years to construct each instrument...? that WOOD be expensive...
