My basses are built one at a time in my Portland Oregon workshop. Please send an email to ellis@lehgutiars.com to start the conversation about building yours.
This is the bass that started it all.
Designed with balance in mind, the body shape has an exaggerated offset at the waste, keeping the center of gravity right where you want it. As with the models that came after it, it has weight reducing chambers in the neck side of the body only.
