This guitar is an homage to one of our favorite innovators in guitar building (Leo F) and one of our favorite innovators in guitar playing (Jerry Garcia). We started with a design from the godfather of electric guitar innovation and then we poured in some twists from Garcia's early/mid 70's era guitars. We ended up with an incredibly versatile guitar that is just as happy playing a country tune as it is playing spaced out jazz-rock. 3 p90s, a 3-way switch, two volumes and a master tone control have been wired up to allow for 7 different pickup combinations and for endless variation when blending the pickups together using the volume knobs. A light tru-oil finish on the solid rosewood neck is both beautiful and incredibly easy to play. Never sticky. The rosewood pickup covers were made in our shop.

This guitar was built for Indianapolis based guitarist Joel Hargraves. Joel can shred, and wanted a guitar that can keep up with him. We sourced much of the wood locally including the maple top, maple fretboard, and walnut binding. Finished with a beautiful nitro blue burst with scraped 'binding' and an ultra fast thin tru-oil finish on the neck. We threw in some quality gold hardware from floyd rose, a unique 6 way switch, and a couple of high output seymour duncan humbuckers. This guitar is a unique take on a modern classic style that Joel is happy to take along to his gigs.

This is our Singlecut design. We started with a blank piece of paper, some drafting tools, and a mountain of influences and ideas. After months of prototyping in the wood shop we've come out with a guitar that combines elements from several classic designs along with some of our own ideas. We are very much looking forward to sharing these guitars with other players.
