A picture of the donor before surgery, together with the extant headstock and proposed re-shape. The large Fender bridge cover is not standard, to quote 10cc 'it hides a nasty stain that's lying there'. The neck is straight and adjustable at the body end. The frets are in good condition and seem unworn. This is quite a shallow bodied guitar at just 1"(25mm)thick and is actually plywood. I am intrigued by baritone guitars and as I don't think this old bass has any real value (please correct me if I'm wrong!) it will make an interesting project when the current ones are finished. As always, any advice, warnings, tips and guidance is most welcome. When and if I get started I will start a new thread. Best thing is, her indoors will not see an additional, "just repairs dear on an old one!"
