Thanks!
Next up is a Ridler IV in white satin with faux binding and Lollar Thunderbird pickups.
It's one of my all time favorites.

The Comboluxe is our take on a less familiar, yet classic body shape that incorporates our signature design features.
This build has a satin Goldtop finish and Fralin High-Output humbuckers with coil-splitting.

Happy new year. I really like the single pick up bass in the bottom middle.

That's the Chromasonic IV posted a little further back.
Here's another Comboluxe in Gloss Translucent Black with faux binding and TV Jones Classic pickups.
The Teeluxe is our take on the classic body shape that incorporates our signature design features.
This build features a satin Translucent Sonic Blue finish with matching neck and headstock, faux binding, and Fralin High-Output humbuckers with coil-splitting.

Re: Lowe Guitars shop notes
Shortly after the Camp Fire in Paradise, CA I received a call from Steve Burke, the owner of one of my earliest guitar builds.
He had a Teeluxe with a graphic finish and loved it dearly, but it was incinerated in the fire.
He asked if I would consider replicating the guitar.
I offered to build an updated version with my current design features and specs.
I have finally had the time to get this project moving. Ironically, the body is roasted ash and the neck is roasted maple.
Here is the guitar that was lost:
Mocking up the graphic on some 1/4" cabinet grade plywood:
Her's the current spec Teeluxe body in roasted ash and neck in roasted maple:

Re: Lowe Guitars shop notes
What else is coming down the line, you ask? A prototype Jayluxe V 32" scale prototype with black blocks and binding, a Chromasonic IV with green pearl blocks and binding, a Chromasonic V with black pearl blocks and binding, and a Chromasonic VI with a VS100N tremolo.

Those all look good. Beautiful without any finish or goodies on them.

Thanks!
These are all roasted ash bodies with roasted maple necks.
They smell as great as they look.
