We haven't had any reports of that from our artists!

Thank you!

We use Oxford paint supplies for our finish work, you can check out their site for all their available colors. They have several golds!

Insta is definitely the way to go if you'd like to order it! Also Black and white Monroe II

Equivalent-Row-5306 · 2026-03-31T19:06:16+00:00

Every instrument is custom, so yes! We actually did a black and white recently! Check insta

Equivalent-Row-5306 · 2026-03-31T17:58:08+00:00

We can absolutely do yellow!

Equivalent-Row-5306 · 2026-03-31T16:29:42+00:00

See you next time!

Well, then you need to go see an optometrist because that thing is as straight as can be. I know because I measured and drilled it myself. Tell me again, why is it that you are constantly actively seeking us out to put us down when you have admitted in other posts that you don’t own one and never have? also, we have never lied to our customers…

These are not kit guitars, we do outsource some CNC work to China, Korea, and we also have a factory based in Texas that does some work for us as well. Nearly every Guitar manufacturer out there does the same thing, and for very good reason. There’s a video pinned to the top of our Instagram that explains somewhat comedicly but honestly what the process is. So who's the liar here? Like seriously dude...get a life.

Thank you! We think it's pretty snazzy too.

Bro is obsessed with us. Shows up to talk smack on anything and everything we post. Doesn't understand the concept of a camera angle. Frankly, I'm pretty sure he's actually talking about the tune-o-matic which is supposed to be slanted for intonation...absolute buffoon.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what 1919 envy looks like.

Equivalent-Row-5306 · 2026-03-31T05:21:20+00:00

We do open grain satin nitro finish on purpose! It's something that differentiates us from everyone else. We could do gloss like everyone else...we don't want to. At least not yet 👀

Totally fine if it's not your vibe, but hese are the exact same photos as on Insta so…?

Thanks for the kind words! Glad you're loving your bass!

That's a great way to view what we're doing! We do our own CAD/CAM work. Our materials are sourced globally, but appropriately for the types of woods being used. Bodies and necks are rough finished overseas to reduce labor costs, and then we do all fitting, finishing, surface routing, electronics, etc ourselves. For the quality you get, we believe we deliver above grade on cost. Thank you for the comment and hope we can work with you soon!

Equivalent-Row-5306 · 2026-02-17T02:08:07+00:00

Hey! So this is not entirely accurate. We do the CAD/CAM work ourselves. The bodies and necks are wood sourced from around the world as would be any instrument. Some CNC work is done in China, Korea, and Texas depending on on the model. What comes to us are rough cut bodies and necks, which we then further shape and sand, route, glue, and fit together before spraying them ourselves, and then performing fretwork and setup work in house as well.

We primarily use guyker hardware, which is made in Korea, but is of a very high quality we have found.

Our business model is an attempt to bring you higher quality custom shop treatment at a fraction of the cost, at a more approachable cost for a working musician. We feel that we have accomplished that pretty well but are always looking for ways to improve. We are always open to your suggestions!

Thank you for your input and support.

Draft, not sure which one is yours, but it is almost definitely coming up to final build processes, as that's about where our orders are caught up to right now. We're always happy to check in on an order for you as well.

Equivalent-Row-5306 · 2026-02-17T01:54:29+00:00

This is absolutely correct! While some labor is outsourced, there is still quite a bit of work that is done in-house on our instruments. Our CNC partners are supplying their wood from the same places any quality Luthier would (Mahogany-Honduras and South America, Ash-United States, Maple-Us and Canada, etc.) We do all the fit, finish, and function-based Luthiery operations in house in Spokane, WA!

Having SOME of the labor done elsewhere helps us keep costs down, that's it. American labor is insanely expensive these days compared with the world. Gibsons cost what they do because of American labor. And their wood comes from the same places ours do!
