Nice... LSR tuners?

The imports I get are from Korea. My orders actually go through another guitar company to save on shipping. Chinese stuff is usually junk. Korean stuff is much, much nicer. They are also less likely to blatantly rip off companies like Gibson. Good luck with it...

Nice!

Coil guitars offers a 2 blade system. The Jacob's Ladder® model gives musicians 22 unique sounds, but combines a three-way switch with a five-way switch to make 15 of the 22 tones available at play time. I have one of the switching systems, but Ive never installed it. It looks interesting. Their website is pretty sparse though: http://www.coil-guitars.com/html_version/ http://www.newsdesk.umd.edu/scitech/print.cfm?articleID=1925

I use Jescar EVO gold.

Nice one there Mr Sully... Love the top.

Artistically cool for sure. But, functionally probably not so much. Moving parts = vibration & noise. I bet it sounds like cool looking poo. Likely prone to feedback...

From my perspective this one is easy to answer: Yes Yes

I've been seeking out endorsees the last few months that I feel would be a good "fit" to my company. I've had a few seek me out, but they are mostly unknowns looking for freebies... I've built a relationship over the past year with a comedian that is also a good guitar player. He matched my philosophy & belief system closely... which is important. I gave him an import last year, and just made him a USA custom to use on the road. In turn he promised to promote my company on his website & FB page. He current has 350,000 likes. Less that 12 hours after he posted I had dozens of inquiries, over 2000 website hits, and I doubled my Facebook likes. I spent most of the day today on the phone (which I hate). But I got multiple commission builds out of it. Including a music store that wants to carry multiple pieces. Tomorrow I'm sending 2 guitars to a well established Christian band that will be using them in a video promoting a new album. I have the same "gentlemen's agreement" with them. They have 125,000 likes, and a loyal following. If I have the same result with them, I'll soon be backed up til summer.

Ok... As it can sometimes happen, this build changed a bit. The good news is I got it done, and delivered on time. Last night my wife, daughter, her friend & I met Tim at one of his shows in Indy to deliver his guitar. He wanted a heavily relic'd piece, similar to the SRV1. So, we ditched the gold top idea, and went with a tobacco burst. I couldnt bring myself to glueing in the neck I originally made for this one... It was just too nice. So, I pulled a neck from stock, and ended up lasering his "TH" logo into the body. I was worried how it would be received. Gladly, he absolutely loved it.
