The Beast Emerges

When Vince finished his work, he had created a magnificent instrument that looks great and sounds even better.

The photographs below give you a glimpse of the Finished Beast that Vince built - better known as Pawless #19, the Brazilian.
Completed in January 2003 and shipped via San Francisco to its owner in Europe.
