I have a line on some 30 year old Rosewood for the new necks for the old bodies. This will place them in the same era. Danny's trucking job allows for some time off during the Winter. We will start on the first ten around October.-Tim

Reverse engineered the pick ups and created the drawings for laser cutting and assembly. I am working on the pickup winder next. I kinda have trouble posting photos on this site. I think I have to link Flickr or something.

Re: Mercury guitars anyone? (Original Fender Venus?)
Hi Tim!
Can I make a suggestion? How about a pre-ordering? I am sure a lot of us wouldn't mind paying in advance or putting a deposit down... you could use the money to finance the operation. Also, what about kickstarter, would you consider using it?
Lastly, would you consider making a bass?
