Build #22, made for my colleagues at FPT, the Italian CNC machine company I work for. Belle (pronounced Bella, which means beautiful in Italian) is a 24" scale 3-stringer featuring a Mike Orr maple and walnut neck, a 23-fret walnut fingerboard and an MGB surface-mount 3k ohm Micro Pup single coil pickup and wiring harness.

Thanks John. Since I started growing the beard I've gotten a lot of... "Hey, you look like Jerry Garcia!"  LOL

Thanks Dave!

I love these pickups, both the Micro Pup single coils and the Mini Box Buckers humbuckers. They are surface mounted, just need to drill screw holes and a hole for the wire, so are super easy to install, the MGB covers give a professional look (though you can make your own out of antique tins, etc) and they sound great to me. On top of that the price can't be beat at $9.50 for the 3k single coil, the humbuckers are $15 for the 2k and $16 for the 4k.
