Hey guys! i'm the owner of a little boutique guitar company and i'm developing an updated model for my headless guitar. Someone may already know my company or bough from me but with this post i would like some opinions on what i'm preparing for this fall/next year.
Basically i did some upgrades based on customer reviews and experience on my headless model, and added some unique features.
The model it's pretty the same but there are some noticeable things to discuss. First is a detachable arm rest made with composite material; it's a polimer charged with 15% carbon with an honeycomb grill screwed with threaded inserts and a very light aluminum bolts. I wanted to push the weight a little bit so generally using a korina body the weight of a full guitar it's around 1.8kg for a 7 strings.
Other stuff are about paiting, most of the available finish are textured and materic, so you can feel the odd surface in order to make them more 3d/realistic then printed like they would be using a satin or gloss standard finish.
The fretboard will be richlite, had some issue with fret sproute, especially on very different climated and humidity, so richlite can fix that. THe same honeycomb pattern is aslo on the electronic cavity cover. Neck is hardrock maple with carbon fiber reinforce..
What do you guys think? Any comment will be much appreciated!
