Guitar Info
Made from old growth reclaimed oak. The extra thin hour glass shaped body is contoured for comfort and balance whether it's being held on your lap or hanging from a strap. The neck is made from curly maple with a red oak fingerboard holding 22 frets at a 33" scale. Mahogany resin hour glass inlays run down the fingerboard and bass clef string tree reinforce its name.  The two mini humbucking pickups have custom oak shrouds and are wired with a master volume and tone, a blend knob allows for a nearly infinite tonal range. This bass is set up to do it all and look and feel like you have owned it your whole life. The shellac finish is durable and feels played in, no plasticity feeling parts here. Tuning is done via Wilkerson geared tuners and the bridge is a vintage piece made from heavy brass. This is not just a great sounding and playing bass it has a cool vibe and experience that only comes from a one off build.

Bass will include a basic gig bag. I'm happy to answer any questions.

SHIPPING INFORMATION

The Luthier Bench advocates for a series of precautionary steps when shipping a guitar.  We highly recommend that Sellers follow the following guidelines outlined in our Knowledge Base article:   HOW TO SHIP A GUITAR.  Important pointers like loosening the strings prior to shipping are detailed in the article.

Our shipping policy is straightforward - every domestic shipment from a USA-based Luthier to a USA-located Buyer will be charged a $150 flat fee, including $5,000 of comprehensive shipping and purchase insurance. For international shipments, our platform charges a flat fee of $350 for shipments originating in the USA to any EU address ($450 from EU workshop to USA Buyer and $250 from EU Workshop to EU Buyer), also including $5,000 of shipping and purchase insurance.  After purchasing a guitar build on our platform, our logistics team will directly reach out to the Buyer to: (1) confirm the transaction; (2) offer Buyer an array of shipping alternatives; and (3) determine desired insurance level coverage.

INSURANCE INFORMATION

The Luthier Bench provides $5,000 of comprehensive shipping & purchase insurance at no charge included in our flat rate shipping rate.  $5,000 of Shipping and Package Insurance will be automatically added to the cart and the Buyer can either accept that level of shipping insurance, or opt to increase the coverage up to $10,000.  This comprehensive shipping insurance package is provided by XCOVER Shopping & Package Guarantee which provides 24/7 online insurance claim support.  Note that this coverage provides shipping insurance in the event of either loss, damage or theft (even porch piracy).
