Bear and Headstock Logos
« on: December 15, 2024, 10:01:39 AM »
I wonder if Bear ever did any of the hand cut headstock logos.  Take a look at the little scroll on my ‘74 logo compared to the scrolls on the wood carving he did for Jack’s bass.  Would be cool if he did the logo :)  but then I guess anyone in the shop at that time could have done that.

 :o  Dammit Rob... now I have to go look at mine!  ;D

*Nope, less detail to the one on 77-621. I suppose it's possible. The design is awfully similar. Scrolls are usually a artistic fingerprint of sorts.

I think I have seen at least one other old one with a swirl like mine

Bear didn't ever work at Alembic, I'm sure he never cut out any logos.
