“We’re working hard to put some cool shit out in the wild.”
— me to the internet, just now.

This is a note to say we have a lot coming up for you this year. 2016! This is our year, baby! A new design, a new model, baritones, basses, new pricing, new ways to buy, and we'll be working with some really cool people, companies, artists and bands along the way. 

“2016! This is our year, baby!”
— me on this blog post, just a little bit earlier.

A little preview of what's coming up:

There's going to be some kind of "How they're made" / company propaganda video.

BloodNStuff recorded their new record at Pachyderm Studio recently. Their MPLS guitar was used extensively, mostly because they wanted to but also our Enforcer ninja was there making them.

Zak Sally's The Hand is working on putting out a record soon in addition to their muisc as CSA thing here. I'll let them talk about the release on their terms when they're ready. Should be sweet though.

Tony and I saw them at the Turf last night. Great time. Zak owns the first baritone prototype we built and it was sounding great to my biased ears. That baritone features a body shape that gives some clues into the new design.

Speaking of Baritones and Basses (and standard tuning 6 strings, obvi) - A new design is nearly complete and you'll be able to purchase more or less by scale length and choose 4 or 6 strings. Options will be somewhat limited but we'll be adding stuff all the time.

Here's a Bass VI we did recently gives some more insight into the new design.

RETAILER - Soon you'll be able to go to a sweet guitar shop and test one out. More info on that SOONSIES.

Faster builds, more pickup choices, more colors, and other fun shtuff. We're working really hard to bring you more options and at a reasonable price. We'll also be putting together some more shows, and we'll be working with some awesome bands - stay tuned for more, More, MORE!
