Thanks for the video.
I think biggest thing that caught my eye on the instrument was the birds eye maple I see now that it is a birds eye maple veneer over the body. What wood did you use for body?
The instrument looks fabulous. How does it play and sound like? Was it worth it for you?

That looks like such an amazing space! I also love the bass-room.

It looks like we may need a topic about security systems to protect our basses!

Any other questions?
When will you start installing ceiling mounted instrument conveyors like they have at the Gibson Garage?
Can someone photo-shop Al in there in place of Mark??

Sorry if everyone posted these already but Iām partial to these, they are cheap and get the job done. I have 5 for the families instruments and they do well. When going directly into drywall my only mod is using toggle bolts instead of their anchors. They range $8-12 each.
