GSPBASSES Fano RB6 thinline-style body & neck (body & neck sold)

hessodreamy · May 2023

A lockdown project which kept me sane when I needed it, but doesn't really have a place in the stable anymore.

I had a hankering for a Fano RB6T but couldn't afford one, Mr GSP kindly stepped in, sourced some plans and built the thing for me. He's done a few but this was his first.

Body is made from swamp ash. Neck is maple with rosewood board. It's gibson scale, nut width 43mm. 12” radius. Neck is not particularly fat - around 22mm deep at 1st fret. All round quite similar to my lp studio.

Body is routed for mini humbuckers, jazzmaster trem & bridge.

Painted in black matt nitro. The paint job isn't amazing but looks ok from a distance. It's also got some scratches on the back from continued tinkering.

Price is £200 £175 for the NECK AND BODY without pickups, bridge or trem. I figure people might want their own hardware on the rest of it. Here's what's included:

Body
Neck
Neck backplate & screws
Pickup mounting rings
Gotoh vintage style tuners
Strap locks
Output jack & plate
CTS pots (500k vol, 500k tone, 1M which I planned to use as a bass rolloff but currently not wired in)
3 knobs
Switchcraft 3-way switch
Scratchplate (no screws)
Backplates for the 2 control cavities (no screws)
I'll throw in a sheet of 2mm white acrylic for making a truss rod cover if you like.

If you want to buy some hardware too let me know and I'm sure I can do a deal before I put it up for sale separately:

Mastery bridge (brushed)
Mastery trem (shiny)
Pickups:
- Seymour Duncan antiquity firebird set (aged gold covers. Currently installed in the pic below)
- Monty's mini humbucker set
- Lollar Firebird bridge
- Creamery 'classic 65 staple' bridge (described as a cross between a firebird and mini humbucker) SOLD
- Creamery 'sweet 14' mini-hum-sized gold foil for neck

Can post. Let me know if you want any more pics.
