Genesis Bolt-on #1

This guitar is Genesis bolt-on #1 the first Genesis I ever built.
We never actually finished this guitar. It was on the back wall of our Neal Moser Guitars/GMW Guitar Works NAMM Booth. We had examples of many of our shapes and graphic designs done on bodies for sale. This guitar was purchased by Barry Miller at the NAMM Show. He asked me to sign and date the guitar inside the neck pocket. It's dated 1-22-95.
Just recently I saw the guitar for sale on Ebay. I contacted the seller and it turned out to be Barry. So, I bought it back. :-) Thanks Barry.

         

This guitar has a great Dan Lawrence graphic. When it was finished being built it had an import Charvel neck on it. I'm in the process of building a Neal Moser Guitars Dolphin head neck for it. I'm building it out of Padauk. It will have an Ebony fret board and be bound with Antique Ivroid binding. Inlay?............hmmm.

         

I love this shape. It's one of my personal favorites. It's Just a Bich spin-off with a symmetrical tail. People tell me they think it flows even better than the Bich.

         

The vertical signature is the first one done when I built the body, marked #1. The horizontal signature was done at the NAMM Show in January 95. Notice the "Made In U.S.A" stamp. :-)
OH YEAH, DAN'S THE BEST.
That's actually a self portrait of what he looks like when someone asks him to do a complex graphic. :-)
