Ty Donald's Tenor Bass

Post by TyDonald »

I decided to build my brother's grandson a bass guitar. His grandpa is a bass player and little CT who is 2 years old follows him around all the time. CT's "Tenor Bass" has a 17 inch scale so it is designed to be tuned one octave high.

Very cool
I have a lot of experience on how "not" to do things.

Thanks for all of the nice comments. I've just put the final coat of nitro on the full sized version. I'll buff it and set it up this Tuesday or Wednesday and post pics.
