Here's a semi-hollow 4-string electric from Terry Bales of Eldorado Springs, Missouri. Single cutaway, alder body with 2-piece spruce top and single F-hole. Natural blond finish. Bolt-on neck is natural birdseye maple; has an adjustable reverse-mounted truss rod. Rosewood fretboard with small guitar frets. Nut width is 1 1/4"; should feel familiar to mandolin players and leave you enough room to bend notes. Hot double-rail humbucker will take you all the way from country to jazz to blues. What looks like a guitar-style pin bridge is actually a through-body bridge with a wood base and Corian saddle. Nickel tone and volume controls, individual Grover tuners, and a roller-style string tree.
     Built in 1997. There are a couple of significant dings on the top, wear and smaller dings along the edges, and a few scratches on the back. Standard gig bag included, or upgrade to a custom gig bag or hardshell case. See more photos, call 425/772-0231, or for more information. $1,100 plus shipping.
