Bass of the Week: Gaetano Costanzo “Left Hand” Lolly
This week we’re checking out a cool Lolly bass built by Gaetano Costanzo. We’ve featured one of his works before with some amazing woodworking, and this one is no different.
Costanzo built the body from alder with a flame maple top. He used walnut inlay to create a hand pattern that crosses over the pickups for amazing effect. The luthier built his own electronics and bridge to make it an even more custom instrument.
