i'm so upset that this is literally the only week out of the year i have plans 🥲 that lineup is STACKED and more importantly I MISS LOUISVILLE 😭😭😭😭

but you're here now!

ew

Yea that’s not enough to keep people employed. That’s so sad. Another innovative company throwing in the towel for the capitalist dollar.

Granted I didn’t read the article but a reasonable take would be move a good chunk of lower end product mfrg overseas, and keep tenured employees on for higher end USA made product. I can’t imagine crunching numbers so hard that you lose your humanity but I guess that’s why I’m not rolling in synth$

Ironically will make only their secondhand synths more valuable and their new stuff will be things no musician is going out of their way to save up for. It’s not to say that things *not* made in the USA are shit (not even remotely) just that there was definitely an air of supporting local ppl before

That fucking blows. What the fuck.

That’s really nice of you to say. I haven’t been on this site for very long and tbh that’s only my 3rd guitar built under my name so I’m somewhat slow to it. I’ll be changing my website up a little… just as soon as I can remember where I wrote my password..

Have you checked out their p92? It might do what you want it to. Thank you for the kind words too!

All you have to do is get so tired of your job you think you might explode, then go to luthier school instead. It’s much better than exploding ime

Can you believe this thing could handle BRIDGELESS? I could not. I still cannot.

Oh geez thanks. Mid build I shifted from this wild orange celluloid pickguard to cream and I feel like it was the right call, sometimes simplifying is the answer. Neck is a soft V birdseye with purple heart on the fb, only side dots, gold evo frets

I know, I may have peaked

They are Fralins! Hum cancelling P90 and split steel pole tele bridge. Had no idea what to expect, my first build with Fralins and they blew me away

Omg it brings me such joy to hear that. I hope she follows her dream 💜💜 it’s such an incredibly satisfying trade and we need more women luthiers!

I made this with my own hands from pieces of lumber. one of my favorite guitarists played it on stage last weekend and it really helped my impostor syndrome bc it sounded fucking great

Handshake emoji

I want you to wear that

Oh dang I missed this. You’re the ultimate hype man now
