Welcome

T1-G1 XS Dawn

The build that started it all.  With a goal of building a killer Telecaster for the Booman, I knew I had better build a prototype to first discover what I didn't know.  The mistakes were many, the lessons were long, but the ambition was overpowering.   Never intending this guitar to be a high-end player, this build included basic components and took over two years to complete.   

T2-G2  Boo's Baby 

Using the lessons learned during the XS Dawn build, this is the first "Telecaster Style" intended to be a player.   Alder Body, Quilted Maple top, Flamed Maple Neck, Flamed Maple Fretboard (9.5R), Low Profile frets, Fender Noiseless Pickups, Babicz Bridge, CTS Pots, 5 Way switch, Fender locking tuners, Qi Jack output jack, Orange Drop-Caps .47u.  

S1-G3  Ziricote Long Horn

Beautiful 1/4" Ziricote top adorns this "Srat-Style" hard tail. Alder Body, Flamed Maple Neck, Flamed Maple Fretboard (9.5R) low profile frets, Fender locking tuners, Bone nut, Loller pickups, 6 way switch, CTS Pots, Push-Pull by pass, Qi Jack output jack, Schaller hard tail...

This Neck is the first with an extended offset head.   More work = cleaner sound. 

S2 G4 Ambrosia Cut Horn. 

The Ambrosia "siblings" were our first guitars featuring Lindy Fralin pickups. 

WOW were we pleased with the outcome. 

This model's voice is bright and open thanks to Fralin's Vintage Hot pickups. We carried the Ambrosia up through the fretboard for a unique look. 

S3 G5 Ambrosia Long Horn. 

Featuring Lindy Fralin's Blues Special pickups this baby's voice is thick and warm.  Ambrosia body, fretboard and head ties this guitar to it's sister the Cut-Horn. 

TR1-G6 The Ghost 

Another prototype & our first Tremolo body. The Ghost is a White-on-White Swamp Ash beauty.   Intended to be a prototype, this guitar came out better than expected and is a favorite of many visitors. 

TR5 - G10 Originally named Forgiveness, this guitar has been renamed the Misfit.  It's a compilation of cast-aside components that did not make the grade.   Making them fit and play well was fun. It's a little unorthodox, but I'm not stopping until it plays great. Swamp Ash body, Maple Neck, and Fralin High Output Blues pickups will help. 

TR2G7 After a last minute bridge relocation to account for the extra two frets, the "Red Zebra" is complete,  And boy does it scream. 

She's sporting a set of Lindy Fralin High Output Split Blades and sounds wonderful.  Push-Pull CTS Pots provide additional tonal options. 

TR3G8  I am loving the Yellow Zebra.  Originally this build included a maple neck with a bloodwood fretboard, but then I found this highly figured maple blank. I decided to build a new neck with a Wenge fretboard.  I'm glad I did.  Fralin High-Output / Super-High-Output split blades light this puppy up!   Click the picture to view its audio debut.

Rage

The "Rage" guitar is in its concept stage.  Any ideas? 

Blue-n-Black 

1/2 way through the concept stage, Blue-N-Black's shape is defined.  Beyond that we're still considering color selection and placement, fretboard material and voice.   Stay tuned, this will be the next one off the bench.
