Thank you!

This one is boxed up and ready to go.

That's really nice.  The shadow in the photo indicates to me that you have the opportunity to do a two-tone with a complimentary color on the angled area on the E-string side.

Thanks, guys! I had never thought of painting the facet a different color...something to consider.

Finishing up a build for a friend in Nashville, TN. It feels good to get this one across the finish line.

Thanks for the term "facet."  I didn't know how to describe that angled face.  I think there are some cool color options there.

You're welcome! It's something I will strongly consider on the next graphic (art) finish I do, whenever that may be.

I'm kind of bummed that I shipped the Jayluxe V and Ridler IV GT40 without taking poolside pics. Oh, well...on to the next one. 

This Chromasonic VI is boxed up and heading to @tonelounge in Nashville, TN.

Now you need to figure out how to get the leaves and berries images on the bass. They look pretty cool in the reflections.

We're all clear, thanks! I feel horrible for the folks south of us...what a mess. :(

This is the only currently available 8-string bass bridge that offers intonation and height adjustment for each individual string. Retrofits a standard/vintage-spec 5-screw bridge without modification. 2.3" string spacing. Saddles lock from the treble side of the bridge. Patent pending.

Getting some build time in.

Nice grain and burst!

Thank you so much! I really like okoume as a body wood...the look of mahogany and the weight of swamp ash or pine. This guitar is 7.5 pounds.

Ready to go, just needs strings.
