zbd1960 Posted March 6, 2022 Author Share Posted March 6, 2022 (edited) Well, "next day delivery" wasn't "next day", but anyway it has arrived. It's unfortunate that it coincided with me being stupidly busy with a mix of course work and sax workshops (please read carefully... 🙂). It is stunning in the flesh. I've snapped a few pics with my phone, but I'm goign to do a proper product shoot in the studio with it as soon as I can, so I will post some decent pics in due course.

zbd1960 Posted March 14, 2022 Author Share Posted March 14, 2022 I've always wanted something made from purple heart ever since I saw antiques programmes years ago talking about marquetry and purple heart aways came up as being stunning etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went for a bit of it on my fretless 6er. Same accent veneer like yours, and I went for a BIG chunk of it in the middle of the neck and also mixed up in the fretlines too. >> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zbd1960 Posted March 26, 2022 Author Share Posted March 26, 2022 I'm very pleased with the ACG Krell. I don't have particularly long arms. I've always found the Fender Jazz a bit of a handful - it's a bit of a stretch and uncomfortable for me near the nut. The Krell is 32" scale rather than 34" and I think with the way the bridge is positioned as well, it just makes everything much more comfortable. I no longer feel like I'm stretching to reach the low end. As soon as I've got some time, I will post up some better photos. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
