Thank you...I 100% feel the same way. I think sunburst over Okume with front binging is my new favorite!Shadoweclipse13 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 26, 2023 10:58 pmMaaaannn! These both look lovely, but that sunburst with the thin red and black edges and the binding looks REALLY sharp I'm not usually a sunburst person, but when it's good, it's a thing of real beauty!!

Re: Lowe Guitars shop notes
Here is a pencil drawing of the modular root/octave plate and a CAD of the root/octave saddles so folks can get an idea of how they will work together.
I'm about to corner what might be the smallest market in the guitar-building universe (multi-scale root/octave basses).

Many thanks to Jake Serek for the kind words about the new 8-string bass bridge.

Some more 8-string 32" scale conversion necks in the pipeline.

Random thought: Although this thread doesn't generate a lot of commentary, it has almost 170,000 views...the most of any forum I post on. Thanks for reading folks, it means a lot to me!

I won't be at NAMM 2023, but my bridge will be! Visit D'Artagnan Pendleton at the Merlin5 CNC Products booth #5744 and tell him I said hello! Oh, check out my 8-string bass bridge as well.

Re: Lowe Guitars shop notes
I always get a kick out of seeing one of my builds up on Reverb. This was one of two prototype Chromasonic VIs. So cool.

Re: Lowe Guitars shop notes
The patent application has been filed for the 8-string bass guitar bridge. I have included a few client build photos to show it in use.

Re: Lowe Guitars shop notes
That’s awesome! I personally have no need for an 8-string bass, but it’s awesome nonetheless, that you’ve produced that great looking bridge.
So much talent. I love your builds.

Re: Lowe Guitars shop notes
The white paint at the tip of the headstock on this Chromasonic V got chipped so my client sent it back for repairs. It's great to see it looking like new and back in its home environment.

Re: Lowe Guitars shop notes
I think I will have a few 8-string bridges in this batch plated in black chrome.
