Designing a bass off the Martin 000 OM 14 fret. The neck ( 24.9) 14 fret makes a 27.5 12 fret. So did it in a cutaway. The top is red spruce the back and sides are Mutenye. The nice thing is the bass will fit a standard case. I have pick ups on the way and will play with them to see which is the best. So as of now here is the end result heading to the spray booth.
Neck is dovetail and the nut is 1 3/4 and bridge will be 2 1/8. I will have plans available one I know how this thing pans out
