Do you recognize this handsome young man? No, he is not that famous X-rated star, “Buck Naked”. Available now at HeadlessUSA is the world’s rarest Steinberger prototype bass. This bass was Ned’s earliest attempt at a carbon-graphite, neck-through-body bass guitar. This instrument will most certainly one day reside in a museum, as it exhibits Ned’s earliest concepts of a totally new and breakthrough design for the electric solid-body bass. We’ve named it the “Platypus” because it’s so unusual in appearance, yet, one can see Ned’s imagination at work, as he re-thinks all of the most critical factors in modern electric bass design. There are so many interesting features. Although Ned immediately saw the benefits of moving the tuners from the headstock and placing them onto the body, he simply used “off the shelf” bass tuners. We also see the beginnings of the swiveling strap-holder, attached at the center of gravity for easy balance. The headpiece area seems quite crude today, but this was just the beginning of his design evolution. A great investment instrument. Grab it now before it goes on display at MOMA. The perfect gift for the man or woman who has everything.

For your consideration is this awesome 1985 Gibson Les Paul Studio Husk in gorgeous graphite grey finish. This husk is in good pre-owned condition; however, it has had a headstock repair done to it at some point. The repair was performed well as it is very stable, but cosmetically it’s quite noticeable. We played this guitar for a month and never had any issues with tuning stability (other than typical Gibson design issues). There appears to be an impact mark on the front of the headstock and this is probably what caused the damage. Headstock has a couple small chips on the corners of the book. Body has one noticeable chip on it by the strap button, but overall is pretty clean. No deep scratches or serious buckle rash to note. Some very light worming in a couple places. Otherwise, this husk is in great shape for its age. It has had strap lock receivers attached to it. Frets are in very good condition with only minimal signs of wear. Not really any divots to speak of. Truss rod works as it should. This husk is relatively heavy at 7 lbs. Fully dressed it will clock in right at 9-1/2 lbs. Neck measures 42.76 mm at the nut; and 54.07 mm at the 16th fret. It is 20.21 mm thick at the first fret and 24.22 mm thick at the 12th fret. If you’re searching for a terrific Les Paul for your next build or project then you simply cannot go wrong with this one. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have.
