This 5-string electric bass is made of pristine Okume wood and quality gold components. I installed - Fender guitar neck, Original Les Paul ABM Guitar Roller Nut, gold knobs and switches, Schaller strap attachments, Schaller Britge and tuning machines, MEC pickups and a gold audio connection. the belt is made of leather with riveted buckles and gold elements. I have made an effort to keep the string routing and winding around the tuning machine pegs as authentic as possible. I also used a symbolically indicated wooden eagle as a picguard. I used the well-known tripod as a guitar stand, I think it's good and stable, so there's no reason to replace the stand.
