Not a Lowebow - a double neck Alibow 3 string plus 1 bass

Posted by Roadkill a.k.a. John Maw on September 6, 2011 at 1:52pm

Double aluminium necks with three strings on one and a bass string on the other. Fake Cohiba box (look at the uneven varnish). Two piezo pickups. The designe is modular. The wooden ends can be taken out and replace with different ones giving various stringing options. Closeup shows double bridges made of ebony and cedar with piezos sandwiched between the two bits of wood. The saddles are temporary and will be replaced soon.

Hi Mike.

Yes. I saw (and have just replied to) your comments on the photo of the head. Your comments are very kind. Make good use of that adrenaline and I look forward to seeing the results.

All the best.

Dang - previous comment didn't post a few minutes ago... I used the term pure genius on the picture of the headstock detail and will use it again here. This is pure genius! It is brilliant both in construction and concept. That modular design has enormous possibilities. That has to be the most innovative and versatile thing I have ever seen. You've started my day out right. Sorry for the rant, but the adrenaline is flowing!!!

Thanks Paul.

I have to admit that I haven't made any other end "modules" as yet.

All the best.

I like the look of this John. Great to have 'removable' options for stringing too.
