I have to say once again, that Graft Finn with the split-coil and the P-Retro just absolutely kills, and does everything I wanted it to do, and more!
Excellent work once again, Alan!   |

But seriously, I'm so looking forward to getting it in my hands and being inspired to greater things. Having the stamp of approval from guys like you, Tom, is a great endorsement for ACG.

This is a whole new experience for me, following an instrument from just a body through to the finished article.

It's clear you're just trying to hook people with these Graft basses. And I'm willingly taking the bait, knowing that I could spec quite a stable of custom models given the money!

I have never heard let alone played an ACG but I imagine it would sound great and play great. Wow. And with the pound to dollar rate being at a decent place..

But there was enough for me in the pricing, the spec options, the gallery of past work and the enthusiastic owners to convince me!
Finn 5 in alder sounds like a good plan to me.

The spec has been updated as well to reflect all the options.
Maple/Alder 5. 
Black Limba/Alder. 
Maple/Alder 4.  |

I own 3 33" scale ACG basses, they are absolutely amazing, I won't be buying a bass from anyone else, ever again!

Eude | I suspect I could come up with pretty much any specs, but as long as it has 33" scale you'd be a fan!

Eude | On that spec I'm with you. Ideally more than 4 but less than 6.
