I had the opportunity to talk with two really great guys tonight, both pro players. We're putting together some really cool builds for these guys, stuff I wouldn't have even considered. It's really rewarding to be able to take the ideas of working musicians and design a guitar with them. I am enormously thankful to Darin and Andrew for taking a chance with us and allowing us to build guitars for them.

Work has started on our shop expansion in beautiful downtown Troy, NY. Converting this old auditorium into shop and assembly space.
We'll have even more shop and spraying capabilities, as well as the necessary space needed to operate our new venture into string making.
Our plans are to have regular guitar building and repair workshops to open to the public in spring. Watch this space, and as always, Enjoy Troy!

The Nitro has settled on our next batch of necks and we're assembling some Strats tonight. Of course, we can't call them that... How about some suggestions? Keep in mind the whole nautical/sailor tattoo style we're copping. If we use your suggestion we'll praise you on our page with a weeks worth of made-up facts honoring you like a North Korean Dictator.

A mock up we did of the our test neck on a finished body. We were just meaning to test some pickups with some hardware we had laying around the shop, but a lot of people seem to like it. What do you think?
