I built this puppy back in the mid-70's, and it's really hard to believe it's over 35 years old...
The design is basically a rip-off of the Alembic designs from back in the day...
Curly Bigleaf maple on the front, capped on top of (what was I thinking?) Philippine mahogany...
Koa neck-through body...
The Old P-bass pickup sounds great...
All the brass is totally tarnished, including the homemade tailpiece...
Anyway, I'm getting ready to do a CD of fiddle tunes played in a loud surf style, so needed this guy to be front and center...
