American Standard Basses

Old American Standard basses are our favorite 20h century US made plywood basses and have become one of the main vintage models that we work on. They have their own set of individual needs & we can help you with new necks, scroll grafts, changing the scale length, carbon fiber reinforcement,  and removable neck conversions. We are the only shop in the country that makes new reproductions for the entire rib garland- upper bouts, C bouts, and lower bouts in any wood combination you want  to combat the dreaded "rib cancer" that some of these suffer from. We can help you maximize the huge low end and stage dominating voice that these are known for. Stop by the shop to play James' incredible 1937 rat rod American Standard or get one for yourself and step into a whole new world of bass!
