The latest Singlecut in process

[msherman]

This is a 10 string that I was commissioned to make in process with 39 frets.
Top and back are Rosewood Stumpwood with a Curly Maple core and Walnut accents. The neck is 7 piece neck through with Birdseye Maple and Walnut stringers.

Play them? how can they hold them??? It seems to weight a ton!!

 

[klocwerk]

so would that be considered a 1.5-cut?

I like it a lot!

 

[Angus]

Absolutely gorgeous! Love the shape and the understated top wood. Very very nice!

 

[msherman]

Thanks for the nice comments guys. I guess it is a 1.5 cut. I attacked the back of the guitar today.

Can we see some shots of the upper frets? I'm interested in how that looks.

 

[msherman]

Thanks,Tribal.
This one was actually slated for the Maidau we spoke about. I needed to get it out quickly though, so I went with the Rosewood top and back instead.

Christobass,It`s hard to get a good shot with the flash (night time here), but here you go.

 

[christobass 416]

WOW. That is ridiculous. Nice job, though. Not knocking you at all.

 

[THIRSTYGUMS]

GREAT FRETWORK AND COOL SHAPE, id love to hear some soundclips of this beast

 

[pilotjones]

Beautiful! I really like that shape.

I just remembered something
I did this bass design on feb 25th of 2005!

eerie!
great minds think alike!

 

[msherman]

I can`t take the credit for the design. It is the brain child of Eric Lovett (he`s a Mod over on sevenstring.org), who I`m building it for. I just tweaked the design to bring it to life.

[BillytheBassist]

Very nice!

I like it! Make it a 5-string and we'll talk Actually, I'm too cheap to buy basses nowadays, I just build'em.

But I digress: Nice bass! Those last few frets are tight!
