Progress on the DC-8.

Looks beautiful Brad! I do love a mahogany double cut! And Thunderbird pickups too

might neck dive like a Stuka but who cares?

Thanks! It's 32" scale, so I'm optimistic on the neck dive.

Another little detail: My necks are headstock adjust and zero-degree, so access to the truss rod nut is important. The string retainer for my 8-string necks was designed with the Stew Mac truss rod tool in mind.

The Allparts Conversion Neck collaboration just dropped.

That's cool! I could see this being a popular item.

I finally have conversion necks back in stock, heading off to paint next week.

Here's a custom-finished, front-bound Ridler body from stock in Voodoo Violet burst over okoume. This will be an 8-string build for a client who already has my neck and bridge.

The Jayluxe V is crossing the finish line.

Incredible Brad!

Just gorgeous!
