Nice to see you are back up and running ! Good luck to you and keep posting pics

Jexey · 12-15-2010, 12:53 AM

So I just looked at 22 pages of Bowes Guitars. Holy shit!

PirateMetalTroy · 12-17-2010, 09:50 AM

MMM pics. I can't wait for mine. I'll be swingin' by after the new year to stir some shit up and get things in motion for rizzle.

canuck brian · 12-17-2010, 10:47 AM

Well, the zirocote boards cupped pretty hard and didn't like being flattened out, so I'll be avoiding using those.

I got all the neck pockets done, the humbucker routes done and the control cavities done on 3/4 of em. The solid walnut one is going to Joe from Psycroptic - i'm hoping to take a richly deserved vacation after this ....ing year and drop it off to him in Tazmania. \m/

Troy - i'll be doing a shedua 7 along side your 6.

Prydogga · 12-17-2010, 10:54 AM

Brian, when are you going to be taking orders?

Awww sick. That shedua is something ELSE. Enjoy the vacation too!

canuck brian · 12-26-2010, 12:49 PM

Hey y'all - i got more work done. Here are 3 bodies i have on the go - still need to do a shitload of sanding and shaping on the edges, but all the neck pocket and pickup routes got finished in about an hour.

Mr Haley's body

Troy - should be picking up the shedua tops sometime this week if Exotic-Woods in Burlington is open.

Prydogga · 12-26-2010, 09:04 PM

Now this is a nice Holiday gift of pics

That SC looks so awesome man, really comfortable and super-singlecut looking.

Hollowway · 12-26-2010, 09:04 PM

Nice work as usual! Are you planning any 8s or taking orders? And do you have the same email address?

I'm getting my 8 string templates done for the new year (28 inch scale) and should be getting things rolling once these guys are done. I've got a few places in Toronto eyed for a permanent shop once my house is sold. in February.

The singlecut is going to end up with a pair of duncans and gold Hipshot hardware (fixed 7 bridge, locking tuners etc) - if it's defect free, i'll be seeing if i can sell it before the next batch.

Here's for 2011 bringing no more friggin delays on this!!

glad to see it's all coming together mate, your gear is too sexy and it's not coming to fruition would be a travesty to present and future musicians.

that said i really can't wait to see and hear some of the new 7's and even that 28" scale 8 string
