Guitars as Fine Art, Art as Fine Guitars
March 13, 2009

You never know what's going to happen when people who do different sorts of things decide to collaborate. You're all invited to the William Turner Gallery in Santa Monica CA to see a couple of dual-humbucker Elan 6-strings clothed in some great images by a wonderful artist - Michel Tabori. The show will run from Saturday March 14th (opening reception at 6:30 pm) till April 25th.

Our tone secret revealed...

Finally, the truth comes out:

This innovative treatment gives our guitars that special 'vibe' that sets them apart.

Coming soon to Atlanta Bass Gallery....
February 24, 2009

This killer Paris 5MP (magnetic + piezo) is headed down to Atlanta Bass Gallery this week.

The walnut top on this bass comes from a plank that Joe bought in 1974, and we just started cutting up last year. (There's more...it was a nice big plank!)

Jim at Atlanta is a great guy and has a fantastic shop. Hopefully, it will get a little more fantastic in a week or so when this bass shows up on the wall! Stop by and visit him, in person or online at http:www.atlantabassgallery.com


 


One guitar, two necks...
February 16, 2009

...two switches, 2 piezos, 3 knobs, 4 magnetic pickups, 18 strings, and a lot of wires going on inside.

This is the pre-finish test run of Joe's doubleneck, and it seems really, really cool, and lighter than some 6-strings.

The controls and switching are simple but very powerful, with some really cool features that we'll describe more fully when the guitar makes its official debut!
