[discreet]

That is really stunning work!

[Roland Rock]

I love threads like that, I can get lost in them for ages. Like that Israeli guy making a lightweight resonant Jazz, that was an amazing thread. Please don't ask me to find it, I can't remember any useful keywords

[Bilbo]

Granted, but can he cook a meringue?

The Israeli bloke is Gil Yarron, if you go on the ( cough ) TDPRI site he is known as Preeb and has done a load of Fender bass builds and guitar builds including a monumental Les Paul jobby

He put that at the end of a much longer YouTube clip - this is the bit where he puts a Jazz back into original configuration complete with mutes under the bridge ashtray. Best Jazz sound (to my ears).

Yes I saw that too. Fantastic.

[Gazm]

I wish I had the skill, time and patience to do something like that. Amazing work!

[Fat Rich]

The way the bolt-on neck blends into the body is stunning

[geofio]

Yes! I remember that thread too! I believe the forum was called something like TDPI. I love them too, but it is 4am, I just looked at the amazing pics, and left it there for tonight

[MiltyG565]

The binding around the neck looked especially sublime.

[DarkHeart]

simply stunning! the attention to detail is absolutely first class

[White Cloud]

This is what happens when art and engineering collide. Beautiful craftsmanship of the highest order.

There aren't enough superlatives to use for his work.

[the boy]

I wish I had his free time.
