These four Maphis models, however, were not built by Semie, but by Gene Moles with leftover parts in his shop probably in the '80s. Note the '70s style headstock on the Maphis bass and the black binding on the sunburst six-string (body and neck). Gene assembled them (maple fretboards and all) for the same collector (not me) who still owns them today. They all have the GM Custom logo on the reverse side of the headstock. They are also all wired volume-volume-tone instead of just volume-tone.
