OliverBlackman Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 This is one of my favourite designs. I would love to hear it played, there aren’t many demos out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickA Posted May 1, 2023 Share Posted May 1, 2023 That looks kind of ... expensive! So much work gone into it compared to the normal slightly complicated plywood. British version of that Anthony Jackson Fodera? about which they say: "The starting list price for a Anthony Jackson Presentation II is $35,200 and after your $10,000 deposit, you will have a remaining balance of $25,200 plus shipping" ahem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrevorG Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 (edited) Stunning! I have a thirty eight year old Fretless Explorer and it's still one of the best sounding instruments I've ever played so I can only imagine what yours sounds like.

jonnybass Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 that is lovely, by far my favourite overwater design. I'd love to hear how it sounds jonny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velvetkevorkian Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 The standard Overwater body shapes don't do much for me but that looks incredible 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
