Shop Update 1

Well, lots going on with the shop right now. Just finished a beautiful Foxtrot Victor for a customer. I was even more impressed with it when he put his loaded pickguard on it. Check out an image of it on out social media pages if you want to see it. Have two more guitars in process for customers, one if another Foxtrot Victor (lefty) and a fabric top Tango Charlie (dubbed The Creamsicle). Both can also be found on our social media pages. Working on a collaboration build with another builder for a popular 80s hair band guitarist. Stay tuned for more information on this.


Builder tip: When sanding anything, don’t skip grits. When you think you have sanded enough, go back over it one more time. Don’t use your sandpaper too long, don’t be afraid to use too much sandpaper. Sanding is not the most enjoyable aspect of build, and usually rushed. Slow down and take your time or you will not get a good finish. Meaning you will either have to deliver a sub-par product, or you will have to redo all of it.
