Millimetric

[morrow]

I just came across a builder from Montreal , doing things a little differently . Mostly guitars although there is a bass model . I like the bridge design . Some have a clear cover over the control cavity so you can see inside . Simple clean design .
He's taking orders again .

Yeah I love the shapes and simplicity.

We've discussed them before, but I just can't find the topic.
So thanx for starting a new one.

Look like instruments Devo would play.

Apparently his fretwork and attention to detail is exceptional .
I like his overall approach , but he's positioned himself in the top end of the snack bracket . He just started taking new orders again last Friday . It must be working .

To be fair to the guy, he's created a unique but consistent, clean look to his instruments. Some builders get trapped building Fender/Gibson-adjacent designs or Fender/Gibson-adjacent designs with a gaudy art deco feel, etc. This guy is building instruments that look like they should be on a space station, albeit a 1970s space station. They have that sort of bravely-making-progress look to them that '70s Shergold guitars had.

I love his work, I'm a fan.

Agreed!  They don't do it for me, but I'm sure they do for others.

I give him credit for not making yet another J or Strat, but I find his designs unattractive. To each his own.

He's no longer taking orders , he sold out his 2023 work in two hours on Friday !
He's doing something right .
