There are my latest two babies.

The guitar is african mohogany, with a curly soft maple top (1 piece). All accents are cocobolo. Standard Ziegenfuss electronics package with 2 tone, 2 volume, 3-way, and splittable coils. Pickups are SD JN Model in the bridge, SD Pearly Gates in the Neck. Sounds sweet with the ability to get really rude...

The bass is all walnut, cocobolo accents. MIA Fender Jazz pickups. It is exceptionally responsive and poppy, which I partly attribute the fact that I used to 1/8" steel rods to mitigate the awkward stress distribution resulting the body shape.

Hope you enjoy!
Stephen

Sweet guitar Stephen!
I can say that the guitar looks better in person, PLUS it play and sounds fantastic!
The bass guitar is very articulate. Steve played it a few weeks back in church. Very punchy.
[:Y:]

Have a safe drive delivering it!

I love the top on the guitar and the details around the knobs. Cool that your church has two luthiers in the same band [:Y:]

Nice single cut - the narrower waist reminds me a little of Zemantis, but without the metal!

Just awesome. Love the flowing lines of the bass especially.
