Countdown Update #5...

The Tonar 3D modeling is just about done. Looking damn good.

Here's an SST guitar with the neck fitted. We began shaping the necks for the show guitars yesterday, and will be attaching them to their bodies this coming week. It's all cake after that!

Latest Tonar Design...

Here's the Tonar with a few adjustments and some fantasy stuff that probably wont make production. It's a direct import from the 3D program Rhino into Illustrator, so the lines of the body are exact, but the neck and pups and stuff are not to scale.

In Law to the Rescue

I'm back in the guitar designing business. My father-in-law had a monitor he was going to trash, so I took it. Design CPU is up and running and I can return to changing the world.

Hopefully I'll be back in the shop by Tuesday or Wednesday.

I'll post some Tonar designs soon.

Thanks, Chico!

Awe, man...

The CRT monitor I use for the 3D guitar buildin' blew up yesterday. What a metallic stench it left behind. I imagine I can get one on the cheap or even on the free.

Don's working away at the shop today making necks for the SST and JB models.

What's that beeping sound? Better go see...

Show Countdown Report #4

Well, not much happened tonight. I fretted two fingerboards. They are either for the JazzBlaster or the SST. That was nice. Four more to go. There's not much you can do at a geetar buildin' shop in two hours.

Right now I think I'll do some fanger pickin' on this here Martin.

Until next time...

JazzBlasters are getting smooth. Just gotta get the body relief sanded down.

So, detail and wet sanding will begin soon. That includes 6 sanding stages for each guitar. Bye bye fingerprints.

Oh, I'm saddened to say that the Tonar's development has been dealt a serious blow, and will likely not be ready by the guitar show. Please contact me through email and I will tell you where to send the condolence cash.
