We’ve done a bunch of scalloped fretboards in different configurations, but never fully scalloped. So it seemed like our first ever should have its own spinning video.

I’m very happy with this and to say it looks amazing on this figured 5A Thermal maple may be an understatement. Plus there’s so much more rad stuff going on.

Just headed out to its new owner. Thanks so much for trusting us with this build!

Well, well, well. Look who finally made their way home. After an exhaustive several week trek around the country, lost in the vast UPS wasteland, the 2nd production prototype Solana 7 Multi-scale has found its way back!

This guitar is already writing its own unique story with this truly unforgettable experience. We all thought this, and a couple others (all 3 shipped together as 1 package), were lost and gone forever. The real crazy thing is that at no time did tracking ever update to indicate they were shipping back. They literally just showed up in entirely different packaging than they left in. A mystery for the ages I suppose...

To say I’m happy they’ve all been returned would be an understatement.

There’s something about Black Limba with a Flame Maple cap with deep reds that never gets old for me. Especially when the flame shifts under light the way this top does. And the neck… whew, it’s insane.

La Playa #1039

Black Limba body topped with a 5A flame maple cap in Deep Tiger Burst. Thermal 5A flame maple neck, ebony board, mother of pearl crown inlays and a pair of Seymour Duncan Antiquities.

24.75” scale. Tone Pros large stud TOM and stop tail. Neck comes in at 840” - .940” Standard and is fitted with Medium Jumbo Nickel frets and 12” radius.

Finished in Satin nitro on the body and neck with a gloss nitro top was the perfect call for this La Playa.

It’s available now on or site. If you’d like to take closer look via video chat, please shoot us a message and we’d be glad to set something up.

This Solana 7 Multi-scale is apparently writing its own story.

While we were building Prototype 1 for We did this one along side it as Prototype 2. It was intended to be a workhorse/test mule here at the shop.That, along with feedback from Josh and we’d take the opportunity to make any small revisions that might be needed.

Then the excitement begins… As we finished up guitars for the tour, it was decided this Solana 7MS may he able to cover quite a lot of ground on new songs from Kinda Hard as well as songs from previous albums. So this guitar, along with 2 others were expedited to Nashville for the tour.

Well, as luck would have it, they arrived late and missed the tour truck departure. Ok, no big deal, we’ll get them 2-day delivered to the venue in Denver. Seems like a simple solution and plan.

Here’s the sh*tty part… this guitar, along with the 2 others were dropped off at UPS have now gone missing. UPS literally has no idea where the package that contains this and the 2 others is. To say I’ve spent hours on the phone with UPS customer support is an understatement. Email after email and they still cannot find them. They were set to arrive in Denver on the 17th of April. May 6th and they’re still lost.

Please, if you see this Solana 7MS anywhere, let us know. It’s obviously not supposed to be wherever the hell it’s at.

Preview of Carlsbad 1143 - With its newly refined shape for 2026. As we tend to do, this one sits right where vintage feel meets modern clarity and playability.

Alder body in Firemist Gold Flake with a gloss nitro finish. 25.5” scale, Evolution neck and at 7.6 lbs, it’s super balanced.

The Thermal maple neck with our comfortable Medium C (.820”-.890”), paired with an Indian rosewood board, 10”-14” radius and… Jumbo stainless frets.

Loaded with a set of qLollar JM pickups, 3-way switch, Gotoh 510 trem and Iconic locking tuners.

No fluff or fancy switching, just a really responsive, great-feeling guitar that covers a lot of ground.

DM for details.
