Howdy folks! My short hiatus from social media turned into a long one, and it was lovely! Apologies for the disappearing act. I’m still here, working out of my private shop, and I’m happy to take on some setup/electronics/mod work if anyone is interested. I’ll be scheduling a few slots a week for next day setups and more involved work can be discussed. Please message me if you’d like to get on the list. Cheers all! Here’s a couple pics of the last Strut model I delivered awhile back.

Please help our friend out. Anyone in the Surprise area prob heard of a horrific incident yesterday which left a 6 month old with 4 gunshot wounds and his mother and her folks with nothing but ash and heartache. The little man is healing in the hospital, but it’s going to be a long road. Every little bit helps. Please share this post and give whatever you’re able to.

The ‘51 Seti. One of our favs.

Model 15 -Sitka top, ziracote b/s, burl walnut accents, and ebony bridge/board. Tone for years…

It’s all in the details! This Seti had a unique electronics setup…Neck Volume, Bridge Volume, master tone, phase switch, and 3-way pup toggle. All to run the amazing Cornucopias. I wire my toggles opposite of Gibson, and “rhythm/treble” is their thing! This makes way more sense to us.

The new Seti is a beast! Here’s a quick pic from yesterday’s photo shoot with photography. This was a shot we did using a painting with light technique. Bil is brilliant, can’t wait to see the rest of the shots. I’ll share as soon as they’re in. and I delivered the instrument this morning to a very happy, very patient, customer. These last 2 years have been long and insane, so it was nice to get back to delivering people’s dream guitars.

One more teaser of the new Seti…glamour shots tomorrow morning, so I’ll post the reveal as soon as the owner gets introduced. There’s some surprises that should totally be his. But, oh man, it’s pretty hard not to share!…

Here’s a wee teaser of what got done around here today…things are coming together well!

To all of our beloved customers. Some may know that my father suffered a stroke a couple weeks back. He’s doing great, but is unable to walk on his own. Anyone who has been thru this knows that it’s quite a struggle to get used to the new life that the stroke thrusts upon you. So, for anyone who is waiting on jobs, please bear with us. We expect to make significant progress over the weekend and throughout next week, when the doctors appointments will be fewer. Thx for understanding, we will do our best! Cheers,

Here’s another fun little project. This strat was blue in its original form. After it look a tumble, the damage bothered the owner enough that we decided to do a full refin. He said he’d always wanted an orange guitar, so…wasn’t an easy color to get right, but in the end it turned out rad.

Added these lovely abalone blocks from to this 70’s Guild 12-string recently. Not an easy job on an old fretted and radiused board, but we got it done. You can see the progression in the pics.
