Hey there..
So, one of the guys who worked for Overwater guitars built this in the 90s in England, and gave it to me after I had returned a previous fretless (which this one totally outclassed)..
He made this by hand, paying unbelievable attention to detail...I have a 1990 BT6G Smith and this is without doubt in absolutely the same league..
The wood is staggering to look at..
Very little wear on the deep black ebony board..
The pick ups were made by Kent Armstrong who designed Smith p'ups and as mentioned , pre amp etc is all Smith original parts..
Its pretty killing!
Cheers
