  1. Fretless guitar. I wanted to feel by myself what is it like to play a fretless guitar, and I came with this design. It's made of some local Woods, like teak and mahogany. It has a traditional hardware set: 1 volumen, 1 tone, 1 switch, with two humbuckers. More pics at www.vc-guitars.com, or www.facebook.com/vcguitars

  6. Hi everybody, I want to post here a special project. I'm not sure if it's a "valid" entry here. If it isn't, please let me know. I call this "P-Bass Restoration". It is not a bass that I built, but it's an original 1975 Fender Precision Bass that I restored. When it first came to my hands, it was a complete mess. It was ugly, dirty, scratched, bad painted, etc, etc, etc. I decided to restore it since I noticed it was an original 1975 Fender Precision Bass, and not all the days somebody come to you with a relic like that to give it a second chance. After removing all the messy painting, the wood came out and I realized it was gonna be a very beautiful instrument, like it probably was in its first days. I decided not to do any sunburst or any kind of paiting on it. I gave it a glossy finish just to let that amazing wood be admired by everyone. It is made of Ash wood, a really beautiful wood. The fretboard is rosewood; by the way, it is a fretless bass. One of the most exciting things that happened with this bass, is the fact that I could use all the original parts, including screws!!. It has its original pickups, pots, knobs, cables, etc. I'm so proud of this bass, and I cannot explain how sad I am, since this bass doesn't belong to me :-( Cheers, Jorge Villavicencio Here are some pictures Before After Before After You can visit my web site: VC-Guitars Or you can check all the pictures here: VC-Guitars, 1975 Precision Bass Restoration
