Thanks!

I have a 32" scale bass version in development and will be posting information on that in the next few days.

Steve Burke is on Facebook as ostreetsteve.

Here is a song he wrote and a video he produced to commemorate the one year anniversary of the Camp Fire in Paradise, CA.

What else is coming down the line, you ask? A prototype Jayluxe V 32" scale prototype with black blocks and binding, a Chromasonic IV with green pearl blocks and binding, a Chromasonic V with black pearl blocks and binding, and a Chromasonic VI with a VS100N tremolo.

My good friends and Lowe Custom Guitars artists Mark Warren and Bill Malik at the Orlando International Guitar Expo earlier this spring, before everything shut down. 

Better days.

Leo Binetti is the latest artist to join the Lowe Custom Guitars family. 

This photo was taken well before the lockdown. 

I look forward to seeing him play with Joe Sanders and Royse Bassham in Umbra Luna again one day soon.

The graphic on the Paradise Teeluxe has been block-sanded to 220, the headstock is hand-painted, and it's heading into final paint.

This will be smooth as glass when I get it back.

The study I sent in with the last batch is proof of that.

I'm dropping this off and picking up a bunch of other stuff at the same time.

It's good to be moving forward again.

It's been a quiet summer, but things are getting interesting.

The old place in Oldsmar is sold and the new place in Odessa is under construction.

Life is good.

Thanks!

This is about 15 miles inland, 50 feet above sea level, and built to current hurricane specs.

We're happy to have found a place with a waterfront sunset view that has no danger of storm surge.

They can't finish fast enough as far as I'm concerned.
