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

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?!

BX-002
