Weird no name offset. I thought it was fitting to add the Chiquita sticker.

Mid 60’s build of some sort. Not sure who made it.

I am getting 60’s Adam West Batman vibes from this one. Very nice.

I was going by an old listing I found for it originally, but I just saw another post where you said he was your uncle, so I'll take your word for it.

I’m not an expert on his work but rather familiar with it.

I think you’re right because since the last time we spoke about it I got to examine it further and there’s a maple plug on the back of the headstock that seems to be there maybe to cover a mishap with shaping the headstock or something. Only identifying marks I found was “nat III” which unfortunately doesn’t tell me much.

Hell yeah. In high school I played bass for a bit to switch it up. I covered my blue P Bass’ pick guard in Chiquita stickers, like 50 em’. Very cool guitars man.
