Well… that was close 😅
The yard is finally almost dry… the joys of living on the Gulf Coast!

We’ve battened down the hatches and are ready for a wet evening. Wishing the best for those in the direct path and in worse flood zones. Everyone stay safe out there!

What a stunner! Resawed and bookmatched this gorgeous extra-large piece of locally acquired curly maple in preparation for an exciting new model that’s currently in the prototyping phase. Stay tuned for more!

Hit the lumber yard early this AM. Oh the possibilities…

We’re baaaaaaaack! Kicking off new shop setup with a very special custom. So good to be making hardwood sawdust again instead of construction lumber! 💪🏻

The devil’s in the details! 😈 The front of our S model has an expanding body bevel that leads into a gradually sloped arm carve, providing a comfortable playing surface for heavy, extended use.
Similarly, the rear bevel expands into a deep belly cut and a heavily scalloped lower horn access carve, which transitions into an almost-seamless neck joint, allowing unrestricted accessibility to higher fret registry for fast and comfortable lead playing.

The Aeon S-model is a modern interpretation of a traditional and timeless design with a little more access and attitude. Our goal wasn’t to reinvent the wheel with this one, but to just make it a bit more comfortable to drive… not to mention FASTER!
SHRED ON!

When it comes to carbon fiber reinforcement rods for necks there’s the traditional standard way (left) or the Aeon way (right). .

Managed to score 10 more beautiful ebony fretboard blanks from India for future builds!
A staple in instrument making for a reason, ebony -in many luthiers’ opinions- makes the ideal fingerboard/fretboard, and we can’t disagree with that assesment!

Milling a pine test body to get more comfortable with CAD/CAM. Learning any new skill is a rewarding, albeit uphill, endeavor. This is no different.
