Francois(Basman 74) asked me to do a prototype neck and body for him. This is the result.

Alder body with Walnut top
34" scale, 3 pc. maple neck
Pau Ferro Fretboard
Walnut overlay on Headstock
standard contours
6 bolt deep angle neck pocket
matching walnut coverplate

This is the first bolt on I have built in 12 years completely from scratch, having to make all new templates for everything except the pick-ups...LOL
