We’ve been quietly tooling up for a change, and here’s the first thing to show, the Ascension pick. We’ve been making and selling a version of this on our site and at shows for a few years, but technology advances. We’ll still make the original versions (Cut out of Delrin and hand burnished), but here is the new improved version. These are 3D printed, with a raised grip section that prevents slip and turn, available in 5 thicknesses from 3mm down to 1.5mm, and in standard, Jazz XL, and Jazz sizes.

We got in a box of Rombo picks including the Crystal Brights. Get em before they're gone.

Working on our first Jaguar setup instrument, on the Tailfin body. Not entirely sure where to locate the controls, particularly the bypass setting (the chrome plate above the strings) as the Tailfin body doesn’t have much real estate in that location. I’ll maybe post some possibilities later

We’re still plugging away at things, but we’re working hard to grow right now. We’re building our first batch of guitars, including models that haven’t been publicly shown yet. The boutique end of the store will continue and grow as well. I’ll be updating more often now that we’ve made this shift.
