ACG Salace E 6 Shortie Fretless

[MJJS]

A while back I bought an ACG Salace shortie (352) from @binky_bass. And that was it. Once you’ve got one …..

Now as it happens, Alan found the rest of the same piece of camphor that’s on the back of 352.

 

So the spec for my own build fell out pretty easily.

 

Around 4 months to go if the bridge arrives on time. 🙏

That camphor does look identical to the back of my old one! Sawn from the same slab I assume. You going for a full matching spec?

[MJJS]

Same scale, pickups & pre. But 16mm spacing on ETS headless bridge. Battery low indicator no longer available. Rear upper scoops less severe.

 

If you zoom in on the images, the illusion of the 3D ripples in the wood is quite clear.

This will be an absolute peach Mark!

Can't wait to see it come to life, and again, good choice on the ETS hardware 😎

Great progress as the hardware has arrived.

Enjoyment is imminent…

Woof!

And here it is next to its fretted twin.

 

I’ll do an NBD post in due course.. but it’s amazing in the flesh.

They both look awful, now give them to me for 'disposal'. 🤥

 

Still miss my old ACG... though I absolutely love the EBMM BFR Bongo 6 selling it to you funded! 1st world problems at their finest...

 

That new one with the matching Camphor top looks awesome, keen to see a photo of the rear of my old one next to your new one as they are essentially the same bit of wood!
