    no worries Chuck, we are well aware how keen you are on surf/music ! Looks like the nut and bridge have been maybe painted to suit the wood theme or are they timber as well ? Cool design, I'm with JB put some skateboard wheels on it

    The nut and bridge are actually made of right-angle aluminium with wooden inserts in them (I made the body a little long so I had enough for those bits and the pickup cover). Probably doesn't help the tone a great deal but I think that build was more an exercise in seeing what I could do rather than making it sound great. It does look at me from the corner of the room begging to be fixed up properly... one day!
    Completed Builds: #1 TL-1 "Telemaster" (GOTM Oct 2016); #2 The "Maplecaster" scratch build; #3 JB-4 "Bass IV" (co-winner GOTM Jan 2017); #4 ST-1M "Surfcaster" (GOTM Apr 2017), #5 JZA-1 "EC Deluxe"

    In Progress:
    Build #6 N1R "Semi-scratch" build
    Build #7 JZA-1 Baritone

    The Cavan Project
    The Magnificent Compaņeros
