76 Gibson L-9S Ripper bass left handed

[paulo]

This started out as a righty 76 Ripper and I've had the body and pickguard made for it.
There is no holes for the bridge cover but right now I have a Hipshot Supertone bridge installed which is way better than the stock one.
Fretboard was peeled, dirty and the frets where worn so the fingerbosrd was cleanded, refinished and refretted. Side dots installed as well. The pickguard was made by WD Customs and the body was made from scratch using the measurements from the righty one then the vintage tint clear coat was allied to match the clear coat on the back of the neck.

Man, that is AWESOME. Colour me envious
Now we need a side by side with your Grabber and G3, obviously!

That's only the second lefty Ripper build I've seen... one of the basses that seems to be made of Unobtainium... like a mid fifties Fender P-bass lefty.
Beautifully done!

Amazing job. Hard to speak with all the drool pouring out of my mouth.

I think you should send it to me for a quality-control test . The selector switch is wicked.
