This would work for a lefty:

Would be a bit more pricey for us though.

Yeah that's all I could find that would work.
No regular lefty ones as far as I could see.

I showed my girlfriend your design, and she said she wants a bass like it so I did a little mock up, what do you think?

Pickguard looks beyond huge as a Bass.

I'm looking forward to this. I was dreaming of having a Strawberry Yogurt coloured Mercury yesterday. This could look good in so many colours.

By the way Aug, how did the profile feel of that neck? It looks a bit chunky.

chunky? it's thinner than a fender neck! but, it's just a mockup so I can get comfortable with grinding out necks.

Ah I was concetrating on this picture, which does make it look big:

So are you all set for making the necks yourself and then attaching premade boards?
