NEws from Holland: pickups for Frank’s bass

Wednesday, July 29th, 2009

We’re excited to announce the latest project at Holland Guitars: hand-wound pickups for Frank’s Fender J-bass!

After years of being his back-up axe, Frank’s J-bass is only days away from becoming número UNO. The new neck and bridge pickups were hand-wound according to vintage Fender specs, and are currently being wax potted! They should be ready by Friday for a weekend of gig exploration

the bridge pickup was wound 9200 times!

this beauty is about to be wax-potted

¡Custom Axe!

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

Guess what?! One of my buddies, who is a bass and guitar luthier, has agreed to help me build a custom guitar!
It all began when I purchased some body blanks last Spring. Back then, Jonathan cut-out based on my initial sketches (my buddy) told me he’d be glad to offer advice and the use of his tools. Then as months progressed and events unfolded, he became more and more fascinated with my design. Bear in mind, while the body was going to be custom, my plans were to buy a pre-made neck.
Well, we met last Friday for a planning session and Jonathan said he’s going to build me a custom neck!!! Holy crap is right! I’m so excited I can hardly wait. His workshop is so cool, it’s obvious that he pours his heart into every project. His other works are gorgeously crafted and I am so lucky to have him as a friend. I’m totally going to hook him up with some nice tools for his business.
Here you can see a rough sketch of the body design. It’ll be cut from Korina (Limba) wood. Enjoy the eye candy
