Well biggest hurdle to overcome is 2 octave neck.

Body wise it’s a little different as well. I do recognize that some creative liberty must take place.


I line up the nut in the same place and that’s the length difference on the neck

Body is a bit fatter especially on the horn. It’s definitely a great idea. Let me know if you need my participation, lol.

It will mostly be an “in the spirit of” project. If I was going to copy it the approach would have to be different, and certainly not domestic. Lol. The goal would be to get the look at a glance. Real Bongo players won’t be fooled and I have no intention of passing it off as something it’s not. Just a fun alternative for us Ray fans get creative and have fun with.

That would be a no. But I could maybe part with at least half my guitars, basses and pedals and get close to it.

I love Bongos. I’ll never own one and I’ve never even tried one, and I still love them.

Just thinking about this, I’ve never tried one either.
They are not really my thing but would love to check one out at least.
