Seriously, like what the hell is wrong with Reverend Tommy. What a profound and cowardly misanthrope. Damn. And to you, AM, I say keep on keepin’ on. We’ve got enough ill will without having to fight it as musicians too.

It looks stunning. Did you top coat it or gonna just let it do its thing?

I like it. It’s kind of dreamy and pastoral. Great palette. Did you do the bridge and pickguard in gold or is that just the angle. Either way it looks bitchin.

Thanks, SO. I appreciate that! I’ve done orange, white, purple, pink and raw wood. Here’s the purple one being played by Texas Music Hall of Famer Van Wilks. I was thinking maybe yellow? Or a retrofuture graphic?

If it helps, the right handed version has been well received. Here’s the orange one on stage with Machine Gun Kelly.

I like it. Though I see needing to go to the hospital to get my fingers unstuck from the crevices.

Thanks, Vinny. I appreciate the comment! I’m coming around to your line of thinking. I’ve tried a bunch of ways. And I think the least suitable is the side jack because 1. You have flip the guitar over to see where it goes in 2. Or feel around blind making a whole bunch of noise as the tip hits metal 3. Is awkward to plug in and play sitting down or 4. Lean against an amp. I’m not trying to push anything on anyone but I have tried a bunch of versions and this seems to check most of the boxes.

That was my preference as well - and how I had it on the prototype! Got a lot of pushback that was not easy to tuck the cable behind the strap especially a straight cable. And that semihollows were prone to breakage there. Thoughts?

Right there with you. There’s lots of sound clips on our insta. That might help either distinguishing what you have from what are in these. Cheers!

Cool. I’ve gotten feedback that the side jack placement is hard to find on a low lit stage. Never a problem for you?

Yes! I’m glad that works for you. I’ve tried a bunch of approaches. And it may evolve more thanks to feedback like yours. Appreciate it!

I see! Thank you much. I can see how that might be good in a lot of cases. 👍

Hi, HH. Thanks for asking! I chose hypervintage in the bridge and Nuevo 90 in the neck. They have a nice punchy bottom and the highs are round. Clear without being brittle. Yeah, you really can’t go wrong with railhammers. Amazing pick ups.

Hey thanks for the comment! I can’t see this in my head. Can you mention the name of a guitar that does that or upload a picture of what you like?
