’59 Happy Days Bass Guitar
Funny story. This particular instrument was originally designed for personal use in a Happy Days musical production based on the famous TV-series Happy Days, starred by Ron Howard.
However I happened to showcase it to a few potential clients and it got sold immediately. Finally I ended up making quite a few versions of this vintage bass guitar.
This bass guitar is an excellent choice, when you want that look, feel and sound of the late 50’s
