They look pretty close!

These were great basses and are actually collectable in their own right now. Woodworking/build wise they are superb and extremely close to the real thing. The similarity ends with the electrics however, they arent close in this department but still sound great!

I had one back in the 80's, and it was amazing G lbpesq Senior Member Username: lbpesq Post Number: 3683 Registered: 7-2004 Posted on Saturday, April 11, 2009 - 10:22 am:    I have a Fernandes Masterhand Guitar - Alembic-inspired, for sure. I replaced the electronics with Alembic, among other mods. Great guitar.
