That's freaking gorgeous! But the control plate is backwards.

That really is awesome looking. I've only seen a couple of your basses but you do great work.

Thanks guys I appreciate it!

This one definitely went real quick. I think maybe three days on reverb and she was gone. Makes me think I need to build another one similar.

It's a righty control plate. I couldn't find a lefty version.

When I was building, my solution to that problem was this:

Pete, that is a great look! I've used similar PG's on tele builds. This one I wanted a more traditional look, but I actually really liked the upside down control plate so I didn't really look that hard to find a lefty version. I love going traditional but with little tweaks that make people look twice and ask questions. I never do 100% copies. This was one of very few builds I've done that even uses an inline fenderish headstock.

Agreed. The back/narrow pointy section follows the contour of the bass nicely.
