Woodworking was passed through the generations in the Bonjour family, starting with Ean’s great-grandfather, who was a cabinet maker in Switzerland

The main tool used in the shaping of the neck was a Shinto saw rasp followed by some refining with files and finally finished with sanding. This bass also features a volute, which adds strength to the transition between the neck and headstock.

Adding in fret markers is up next. I chose brass markers to coordinate with the color scheme. Instead of using a standard drill bit, I used a hole saw, removing a ring of material for the brass and leaving the wood center. Then I inserted the brass tube and filed it flush with the fretboard. I couldn’t use this method on the side dots due to their size so I removed the wood with a standard drill bit, inserted the brass, and filled the marker with cherry.

I promise there’s a guitar neck in the first picture. Can you count how many clamps I used? After the stone inlay, I glued the headstock cap to the headstock. The cap is made from the cherry off-cuts used for the top of the bass body, tying the build together beautifully.

I wanted to do a special inlay for the 12th fret marker, knowing my wife’s love of rocks, I chose a piece of red jasper. I shaped the stone into a rough trapezoid inlay. I excavated the cavity for the stone, epoxied it in, and flattened the stone until it was flush with the fretboard.

A multi-laminate neck adds strength and stability. For this build, we used walnut, maple, and purple heart with black veneers between each piece. This was then planed perfectly flat and ready for the next steps!
