Comment :

I began building this guitar in 2007, which makes it the longest time I've spent working on a guitar (I took very long breaks between sessions of doing actual work)

PRS-Gibson inspired, the Queen-B is the perfect replacement for my departed 2-B.

The electronics are made up of individual volume knobs with a master tone control. It is actually very similar to the Fender Jazz Bass circuit. No switch is needed.

AUGUST 3, 2009 : I am happy and flattered to announce that the Queen-B was voted Guitar of the Month for August 2009 by members of the Project Guitar builders' forum.
