Just found this. I like their style.

(I have no idea what happened with the last fret on the Thunderhawk)

A bit too much going on simultaneously for my Presbyterian sensibilities, but nice to see somebody thinking outside the box with big Gibson and Zemaitis influences.

I like what he did with the extra pickguards on the Tbird. But what's the deal indeed with that last "microtonal" fret?

I don’t know how well they’re built, so I can’t comment on that.
But I’m not a fan of the designs. A bit too hodgepodge for me.
