Fully booked!

Well, the call for orders has been a great success, and all the spots are filled! 7 guitars in total - 5 custom builds and 2 builders choice (which have been spoken for). There’s some really exciting builds in this batch, and I’m looking forward to refining the process and taking things up a notch.

All going well, I’ll be able to make a solid start on them this month and have them wrapped up in July/August.

Once this batch is complete wedding season will be closing in, so I’ll be slowing down quite a bit. Over the warmer months I’ll be focusing on building a few new designs I’ve got set aside - these will be my personal builds, and prototypes for a slightly new direction I’d love to take things!

Recently completed.

Although I’m still in wedding season and editing full time, I’ve been able to start spending a bit of time wrapping up some projects that have been lingering.

This thin-line Silas is on it’s way to the U.S for a very patient customer! It’s been a challenging build, mostly in trying to get the finish right. It’s a vibrant guitar, and the pickup choice (Righteous Sound pickups) works so well together - the middle pickup has its own volume control so you can run it solo or blend it with the other pickups. The Descendant vibrato and bridge is some incredible gear too.

This Gideon bass is nearly ready for assembly - a day spent dressing the frets and wiring it up will get me to the finish line. The Swamp Ash body is super light-weight, and I’m expecting the Aguilar pickups will deliver the vintage tones!

Another Silas almost ready to go! With all the complexity of my thin-line designs, it’s nice to build a simple solid body. The Red Cedar body will be light and resonant!
