I've seen the Custohm on Mike's Instagram - what a beauty! You won't be exhibiting at NAMM in January by any chance? I'd love to see your guitars in person.

bavarian television ( in smoked red burst )

hollowbody new guinea rosewood with redwood top, ebony board and binding on everything.
3 TV Jones t-armonds.
the 'full mastery'.
25" scale.
skinny neck.

crazy business from earlier this year ... this one sounded like an old, dry, early gretsch ( though with a puny neck like a duo-sonic ) :wtf:

ugh yes, the fretboard journal guys hooked me up with bill when he toured out here.
i set up back stage at the jazz festival with my jimboyogi harvestone amp and four guitars and basically had a one hour performance from bill playing my axes, no pedals.

thanks guys ..

made this one for sean lennon earlier this year.
hand applied gold-sparkles over bronze/brown metallic basecoat with mirror guard ( as specified ), the rest of the aesthetics were up to me, though we chose a non-reverse firebird starting point and we knew we were aiming at jazzblaster territory but with a vintage feel.

4 x lance amplification ( that jimboyogi again ... ) WRFB pickups ...
basically aiming at a WRHB magnet pole construction and sound - shoe-horned into non-plated nickel FB covers.
these pickups absolutely made the project.

new guinea rosewood neck and body.
the full mastery.
25" scale.
ziricote board.
strangle switch.
behind the bridge pickup fun times.

Good looking thread here. I might be willing to let some SoCal OSGers touch my Harvester. Maybe...
