Finished

OK here goes a descriptor :

Was in a Guitar Shop in Middle Field Ohio. There was a very nice looking bass ( Traben Neo Limited) The owner let me trace the outline on a piece of cardboard. I had been helping the Ashtabula Antique Engine Show grounds get a 1930's Diesel generator running . The main organizer lived close to the Amish farm where he told me about the curely maple wood. I tried to purchase the whole lot but was advised the Amish guys brother had already spoken for it. He let me have one piece of 2" thick slab. I slice some of it a shipped to Ted Crocker and you will see the guitar he is building for me on his web . I used the piece with the most character for my Traben six string. The fancy neck with the vine inlay was purchased quite awhile ago , believe MFG inn China. It is very cheaply done other than the inlay. The small curly piece of wood used for the pots and switch was some fire wood I got from my Amish group (Ash ) Guess that's about it. Happy New Year

PS Please don't tell Traben Shhhh.
