Well I figured it was time I finally got busy over the past six months and actually got something accomplished. Decided I was going to take the plunge and start my own guitar company. throwback guitars with my own personal touch. Sold a few rarities in my collection and now currently working on 6 new axes. My eventual goal is to produce them in smaller numbers (50 per year) in some cool finishes and have some fun learning new things along the way.
The blue guitar is a Kato Classic alder body in Blue Sky finish. It has a 2 point tremolo and Seymour Duncan California 50’s pickups. Combined with the maple neck the guitar sounds awesome.
The pink guitar (a one off) was painted by Will Scott of Graveyard Carz and was done in a PPG Deltron basecoat clearcoat. It has a Dimarzio Super Distortion 3 in the bridge and an Illuminator in the neck. Neck is maple with an aanj neck joint. All other hardware is Gotoh. I am still waiting on the truss rod cover to get back from the engraver. I am working on a custom case in pink tolex to match the guitar. I plan to sell this one off for charity as well as another I currently have done and listed.
I have several more I’m currently working on and as soon as I get more progress made I’ll post some updates with better pictures. It has been pretty hard working on all of this stuff after having covid and some other health related issues but I am doing my best. One thing I can tell you for sure is that quality both physically and tonally are two of my highest priorities. I want things to be perfect when they sell and get shipped. You only get one chance to do it right and I am trying my best. I am no build master but I am driven and hope all of this works out. If it doesn't then I have some new guitars all to myself lol I plan to have at least 7 guitars done by April. I am almost halfway to that goal. What are your thoughts so far? Also for all you Floyd guys rest assured I those are being built too! Just wait until you see them!
However here are some pictures of the guitars so far.
