The top and back are Carved Spruce, Archtop. The revolutionary idea, is to use no braces. The Spruce back adds to the bass end. Wider neck, like a classical, easy to adapt to wider neck.
People are a lot bigger than they were in the 1930s when Gibson set fingerboard width. A I do make these, by myself.
Each one is a little different. B The finish is rough. A fine finish takes more time than building the instrument, and does not add to the tone. There is a whole crew of Wishbass Enthusiasts that refinish my basses.
It just takes, time, sandpaper, and some Tru-oil. Ten Dollars and elbow grease.
C There are no truss rods. The necks are very stiff, due to the Purpleheart stringers. They are also a bit larger than usual. I find that a fat neck decreases the chance of carpal tunnel syndrome. You adjust the action by shimming under the bridge, it is not glued down.
I set the action as low as possible, it is easier to raise the action than to lower it. To do that, simply file the bridge.D I try to use domestic and renewable woods. Occasionally i have exotic wood left over from a custom order and use that. This item is in the category "Musical Instruments & Gear\Guitars & Basses\Acoustic Electric Guitars".
