The second from top is my favorite. The top one looks really good, but I like that it's
BOLD

Thanks, that's where I started as well. That said, I feel as though the lighter weight is more consistent with the design era I'm looking to reflect. Also, now that Lowe is legible, it doesn't need to be repeated.

I dig it. Did you decide on the one in the post above this one as your final?

Nothing is final, but I'm leaning that way. I agree that the line weight needs to be a bit heavier than what built in MS Word/Paint.
On the production side, I'm making ideas a reality with help from Merlin 5 CNC Products.

Headstock reminds me of a bottle opener. I dig it.

Yes...the bottle-opener was the hook (pun-intended) for my 4-inline and 6-inline headstocks, so it made sense to me to incorporate it on the 4+1, 2+2, 3+3, 3+2, and 4+4. Yes, I'm aware...I have WAY TOO MANY options for such a low volume builder.
On to the next one: This neck was intended for a Chromasonic body but the client changed his mind and asked for a Ridler body instead. Behold the world's only Ridlersonic.

Because of the E being at the end, my brain reads it as LOW, and the E as being the logo.

A friend on another forum referred to it as the Low "hamburger" logo...

The new logo is ready to go, thanks to Chris Ferebee (@chrisferebeedesign @futuraguitars on Instagram).

I like it! It feels like the best version of all the varieties you posted earlier.

Thank you, that's what I was striving for!
I did the preliminary design work starting with an MS Word document and doing basic editing in MS Paint. I worked with a graphic artist to fine-tune the compositional elements, pull over the company name from my current logo, and finalize all of the line weights and spacing in Adobe Illustrator.
I'm really happy with how this is turning out!
