NBD a singlecut hollow boutique

[Levent]

Finally, I have been designing this on my head for the last 10 years whenever I visited my luthier, each detail by a question. When I opened up with the design, he made It a reality better than I could've imagined.
He also crafted the bass on my profile pic and a travel bass for me over the years.
He is a humble man and doesn't even share 10% of the instruments he makes, so here is my shot at It https://www.instagram.com/ekremozkarpatgitaratolyesi/

• Flame Walnut Top
• Carved Mahogany Singlecut Body 10cm Thickness
• Ovangkol / Ebony 3 pc neck with graphite reinforcement, compound radius.
• Reverse Headstock Walnut Burl (Kinda matching)
• 24 Frets Ebony Fretboard with 0 fret
• Brass Nut
• 80cm Scale Lenght (31.4960629921'' )
• Smallest Jescar Gold Frets
• Gold USA Hipshot Ultralight Tuners
• ABM 3704g20 Brass bridge with 20mm Spacing
  
• Delano JSBC 4 HE Pickups
• Taurus TM2 Preamp (Epic low/high punch option)
• La Bella 760FGS Deep Talkin’ Bass Gold Flats

Bonus (I might put this on for a short period as a joke):

WOW.
That is absolutely fantastic! The body to neck blend/cutaway access is simply sublime.

Many congratulations to you and the builder! This is truly incredible and he is massively skilled/talented. Kudos to all!

Thanks man, my thumb doesn't even feel a slight difference in the neck untill 24th fret. That was one of the main goals.

Yeeesh that’s a magnificent looking instrument! Very unique and unusual, which can be very hit or miss, but man, at least in the looks department, here you guys have a hit.

Would love to see some video/audio at some point!
