Thanks to for the lil impromptu demo on the Plasma-5 "Merlot"

Excuse the audio - it's almost like we recorded this with a cell phone inside Guitar Center. Almost.

Today in the shop: getting this gorgeous Strategy-6 body oiled up, really seeing that beautiful figure shine for the first time.

I absolutely love the material specs on this build:
- curly walnut top
- curly one piece sassafras body
- reconstituted turquoise body inlay

What color hardware would you pair this with?

First playtests of the new Skelter shortscale bass model. Safe to say our booth stayed busy!

Nothing beats watching people react to a new design for the first time - thanks to everyone who came through to try it out. I can't wait to start building more of these!

The Skelter is designed as a nod to 60s era aesthetics, with modern performance features. We took everything we've learned about building ultra-modern, high-performance instruments, and applied it to this fresh yet familiar form.

Pssst...guitar model dropping soon 😉
