These do nothing for me aesthetically, but to each their own.

Yes, I realise they probably pre-date it, but the ones shown here somewhat put me in mind of that St. Vincent guitar (which also does nothing for me aesthetically).

Hah, well I like the stV too, so that checks out.
There’s a sterling stV upstairs in my daughter’s room…I do hope she gets back to it someday.

As Tom Petty would say, the waiting is the hardest part. I’m way psyched.

I love Millimetric, their doublecut type shape really appeals to me for some reason.

This guy puts his to good use, really interesting how good the lipsticks sound.

That is pretty cool.

I have to admit the close spacing of the controls on these guitars bugs me, as does the jack placement.

It’s a beautiful design, but ergonomics are important too.

I kinda concur. I asked him to wire mine a little different. Switch up front, bridge vol, neck vol, jack. That’s it. If he doesn’t do it, I’ll just re-wire it at my leisure depending on how it works or doesn’t.

Millimetric is on my short-list next time they open their books. I'd love to have a Canadian-made guitar and Frank Bros, while nice, costs more than my BiLT (which is rather jam-packed).
