Birdsong - Client page

Updated Fridays as regularly as I can. If you get antsy, remember we're a small workshop hand building
you a custom ordered musical instrument. There's no factory or assembly line, just the next task that'll
best keep things moving smoothly... and that isn't always what's next on yours. :) Just sit back 'n enjoy
the ride; you're in good hands. It's an honor to be doing what we do for you and you're family to us.

NOTES FROM THE NEW WORKSHOP
With the new workshop up and running and all hands on deck, we are going through the orders and grouping like builds from the whole stack. There will be some of you getting your instrument quicker than expected, some "11" serial numbers that will become "10" as we get them completed sooner than we thought, and all of you waiting patiently know we're now able to get on it. We're not rushing the builds, nothing really different is happening, we just can do so much more work in our new environment.

The build times are going to go way down, so while we work into that there will be some build time aberrations & adjustments... some minor, some major, and it may seem kind of random from out there but it all makes sense in here. Just let it happen. We're matching up build orders with our materials on hand right now, whenever they were ordered. We're working on stuff ordered last year alongside stuff ordered last week. If you waited seven months and the next guy waited three, and this other person's new order is already in sanding and yours is hanging around waiting for a neck, that's just the way it's happening right now, roll with us as we roll with it.

I'd like to get build times to 90 days but we haven't seen that since 2004, so we'll just have to see what happens! We're still always waiting on stuff, like right now we're waiting on a batch of necks and a shipment of cases. But in the workshop? We're kicking but AND taking names. If yours isn't posted yet it will be soon! Check in next week. Boy is this fun! Thank you all so much! ~Scott

Waiting on necks, talked to the neck guy & should see some at the top of this coming week.

A welcome sight for those waiting on Hy5s!! Check it out...

Odd projects

Tim's guitar - The Great Cedar - Wiring / setup!!!! Not too shabby for an old house beam.

10T-002P - experiment to see how the DST (Double String Through) we patented for our Hy5 would work in a 4-string "micro-bass"... forget 34" scale length, how about 34" TOTAL length and 25" scale? Let's see how much tone we can get out of this little Pecan wonder. I just happened to have a Pecan scrap that fit a modified Tulip body perfectly... so let's see what happens! I'll get back on this once I clear some basses out of assembly. I know there's a few of you watching to see what happens... so do I! ~S

10BX-001 "BX" is the new prefix for odd one-offs & unusual builds that don't fit existing model descriptions. This will be a lefty twin humbucker "Double Fusion" with an Odyssey body. How many prototypes at once is that?!
