I'm a hobby builder and embarked on my first foray into woodworking around 6 years ago. I build for my own use, fellow band members, friends, family and occasional commissions such as this one. I've built bass guitars, electrics and acoustics over that time.
Not the smoothest of builds, but got there in the end!
In recent years I've been trying to challenge the often surprised statement when an non-player picks up a guitar or bass for the first time, "Gosh - why are they SO heavy???"
So this one (and nor are the other electrics and basses I've built recently) isn't 
So here is "Great Scott!" (and he really is, by the way)
