NEW DESIGN! I've been very busy over the last couple of months working on a couple of new projects. Here is one of them! It's my latest design for a new single cut. The guitar in the picture is only a working prototype, hence the odd mish mash of parts, the Maple fretboard (that I had lying around), and the spray-can finish. This prototype was made to check the overall feel and apearance, and also because it's better to see a three dimensional item than a two dimensional drawing. After much scribbling and erasing back and forth, I came up with this shape which I feel has all the properties I was looking for. I tried to combine the traditional, classic lines and functionality, but with a slightly more streamlined feel to it. |

| I've kept the hardware and electrics deliberately simple, as this is indended as a straight-ahead rock 'n roll guitar. The single volume control falls nicely under your finger when you rest your hand on the bridge, and the pickup selector is just a flick of the finger away. On the production versions, I will make other pickup and control options available for anyone who so wishes. |
The carving on the top is much more deeply dished than my Standard or even the Valiant. This should make for some interesting effects when one carves a highly figured piece of wood for a top. I'm going to add this guitar model to my regular product line, and as soon as I have a finished product available, I'll make a separate page showing the guitar in full detail. Stay tuned! |
