My new thing of beauty

Some of you may remember this:



It started off like this:



Then I swapped the pickups with a forum member, as top pic.

I had a fretless TRB1005, but the 35" scale was throwing my intonation out, so I swapped it with a forum member for a TRB5(Japan). That left me without a fretless, so I had a word with Uncle Horrid & sent him the neck.

This arrived today:













A beautiful example of Howard's work. Even on close examination, you wouldn't realise this wasn't a factory-fitted fingerboard.

I put the hardware back on, mounted the neck, strung it up, cut down the slots, tuned up & adjusted the relief & the bridge & it plays beautifully - no dips or high spots.

Thank you, Howard - another lovely job.

I was talking with Howard about a 60's ish precision build, but I'd almost managed to talk myself into being sensible... This sort of thing isn't helping... Down with this sort of thing!
