Hey guys,

It's been a LOOONG time since i put anything up! I'm starting to gear the whole project back up and I've got a few things that I just wanted to share with you guys.

Finally able to get back to working on some of the guitars that I had on the go, albeit at a pretty slow pace right now. Finally got my house completed and onto the market last week so a HUGE amount of pressure is finally alleviated and my spare time has finally opened up again.

The mighty Darren of Decibel Guitars did up my SFL7 design for autocad and I'll be getting 4 bodies done within the next two months. I'm still going with the minimalist approach for controls (1 3 way, 1 volume).

These are the 1.25 inch thick set neck models that I made a prototype for already (the katalox 7). Still not taking orders at this time and trying to get previous guitars underway.

Here's the current design that will soon be off to the machine!

We'll need to plan out your guitar proper! I *think* I have a slab of walnut that we can still use.

I'm glad to see you back in action, dude.

 

[Durero]

Sweet! Great to see you back at it Brian

 

[Erick Kroenen]

You are back, Great!!!!!!!!!

 

[Stealthdjentstic]

Was just wondering where you went, good to see you'll be feeding our insatiable lust for guitar porn

 

[canuck brian]

Well as another update, a slight mod in the body really caught my eye....pretty sure this will be the main body style that I'll be using.

The carves are on the back! This is for the flatop SFL, not the carved top SL.

Lemme know what you guys think! I was an easy sell.

Glad to see you're up and running stress free!
