News And Updates

With hours to spare, I have completed the four guitars that will go to FUZZ Guitar Show. They turned out very nicely, with the exception of some finishing problems of the new batch of hardware. This needs to be corrected at a later date, but is a shame since this is all people will see at the show.

There are many reasons to visit: try the guitars, participate in my sound clip competition (you can win a complete bridge) and be the very first to get a first-hand look at the world premiere of the Toone-Townsend Intonation Adjustable Nut and Neck Core.

Getting ready for an exhibition like the FUZZ Guitar Show means much more than just getting the guitars ready. There are brochures and business cards to print, and dressings for the table in the exhibit hall.

Today, I made a stand for the guitars.

As you can see, there’s still some work remaining. For three of them it’s just assembly (if I had some hardware…) and adjustment. Luckily, I dropped the new batch of hardware off at the anodizer last week and will pick it up on Tuesday. For the maple/mahogany guitar, there are no frets on the neck. Although I will complete it in time for the show, there is a good reason. Rick Toone and I have partnered up to organize a surprise unveiling at the Fuzz show. Another good reason to visit!
