I had an idea about the logo - so I'll butt in and offer it.  I thought the three horizontal lines for the E needed just a bit more "spine" to tell people there's an E there.  It looked like LOW to me before I read the post.  I freehanded the red rectangles in to give you a rough idea of a not-connected vertical line that gives a stronger hint of the E.  I assume it would be black, or for that matter, you could color the vertical and change the color on different types of instruments.

Of course, this is worth what it cost you.   ;D

Thank you, I appreciate the input! As a buddy suggested elsewhere, that's enough of a reason to keep the entire business name below the logo.

Honestly, I like the (unintentional?) Low E double entendre for a bass.  I think the three lines are unique.

This neck was intended for a Chromasonic body but the client changed his mind and asked for a Ridler body instead. Behold the world's only Ridlersonic.

Thanks, Rob, I really appreciate that. I'm excited to get the Comboluxe IV out into the world.

   Beautiful work! I really like the single pickup sunburst model, simplicity itself!

I know, right? I will be very disappointed if the Comboluxe body doesn't catch on...fingers crossed.

I finally got a display wall put together. You've go to love a comfy multi-use space. The two on top are part of the permanent collection and are not for sale.
