So everybody, my dad and I have decided to start building guitars! We have all the necessary woodworking tools and an amazing local hardwood warehouse. The first bass im gonna build is kind of a minage-a-trois of a Fender J-bass, a Spector NS2, and a Warwick Streamer. Specs are: neck-thru-body construction, 5 piece Wenge and Purpleheart neck, snakewood fingerboard, American Swamp Ash body wings with AAA quilted maple wing tops, curved ergonomic body profile, matching quilted maple headstock Veneer, Brass Hipshot bridge, gold Hipshot tuners, Brass nut, gold knobs (neck vol, bridge vol, tone), gold Schaller locking strap button system, gold jack plate, blue LED side dots, active EMG J5 pickups, whatever logo I come up with for my brand on the headstock and "MockingJ" model name on the truss rod cover. Friday I will order the core components in my bi weekly budget and draw up the master plan when they arrive.. Then, Pine prototype!
