After 3 Warmoth Geckos, I'm feeling limited by the options on the 6 string. I'm looking for a supplier for 6-string bodies and necks that I can assemble with my hardware and electronics.
any guidance would be appreciated!
I'm in WS, NC, so i would love to keep it local! |

There were Roscoes in all stages of development-- from tree trunks, to cut wood slabs, to glued neck blanks to cut bodies, sanded bodies, partially finished basses and completely finished basses. It was a treat for all the senses considering the lovely smell and covering of saw dust everywhere.
It allowed me to appreciate the fine work being done on my basses that much more. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
