Really cool pics of this latest Golden Road model guitar being built for me by !!

All strung up, getting final set up, fret work and a few finishing touches!!

Just got this really nice Lefty Gibson Les Paul studio in this really cool red!! These are a really great value, and lefty’s can be hard to come by!! Right now it is strung up righty if anybody wants to play upside down, but we will be setting up lefty again!!

First mock up of the new NL series guitars!! Still some more aging to do, get strings on them, do some fret work, and cut the nuts, but they are getting there!!!

Necks are really coming along for these NL Series guitars!!

Working on a custom ordered Tweedle Dee with a master volume. Also, this one will be much darker in color, and more heavily aged than we have done so far!!! Going to be a fun one!!!

Potvin Guitars “Project 58” in Silver Fox!! This was a project we did a while back to copy my favorite 58 Junior!! I sent it up to Canada for Mike Potvin to spend time with and build these guitars! This one Josh from shot in silver fox and aged!!!

Letting these bodies cure a bit before more aging!! Josh will continue aging the bodies, then the necks, then assembling!!

This amazing looking SG-Teor just finished up and is on its way across the pond from England!! We are always psyched to get guitars from Damian Probett!!! His models are always really cool, well throught out , and contain aspects of our favorite vintage guitars!! The build quality is always incredibly high, and they always sound great!!
