Oni Guitars

dpm · 08-19-2005, 05:45 PM

I went ahead and started my own business

It's called Oni Guitars, there are 3 instruments confirmed including my 8 and Gojira's V.
Thanks to Gojira for the name and the massive amount of assistance.
Expect a website very soon. The focus of Oni is extended range guitars, so 7 or more strings, fretless, that kind of thing.
We'll see how things go, I suppose

nyck · 08-19-2005, 07:14 PM

Be sure to post designs as soon as possible! Hope all goes well.

Be sure to permanantly send me your 1st 8-string prototype and I'll give a thorough life long review.

Good luck, bro.

Good luck, bro.

I may just do something like that, only without the 'permanantly' and 'life long' bits

Unless, of course, there is a financial transaction involved.

Thanks to all for the well wishes and encouragement, criticisms and that kind of stuff, you've all been a big part of my decision to get this happening

Digital Black · 08-19-2005, 10:54 PM

I can do that, email me dan@oniguitars.com

Shawn · 08-19-2005, 11:55 PM

The best of luck to you, man!

Papa Shank · 08-20-2005, 05:40 AM

managed to test out those bareknuckles yet?

Drew · 08-20-2005, 02:16 PM

Hurry up and get yerself a proper website, dick.

No, seriously, this is cool.

and I'd be MORE than happy to give that 8-string a spin for a few weeks.

BCrowell · 08-20-2005, 02:53 PM

Nice to see people willing to go for it, and create their own business. It's the only true way to reap what you sow. (Damn corporations)

I wish you the best of luck. Running a business takes twice the work of a typical job it seems. Keep the faith, make quality stuff, add a dab of marketing (ok maybe allot), and you'll do well.

Look forward to the website!!

Nope, I might not even bother doing the test, I could only test the neck pos in a standard 7 because of the string spacing on the bridge pos (due to the slant).

Corey Smith · 08-20-2005, 08:47 PM

Awesome to hear man, keep it up! We need companies like this out there!!

gojira · 08-20-2005, 08:58 PM

Yep, that's what I'm talking about!

peterchau · 08-27-2005, 04:13 PM

damn thats hot. do you have any plans of how it'll look?

dpm · 08-27-2005, 04:48 PM

Well, so far there's my 8-string design, which will likely be the basis of the 7, slightly altered to suit.
There's a couple of other ideas floating around too, contact me directly for more info.
