    Quick little update. There are some new build pics up on instagram and Facebook, check them out if you wish. The last few weeks have been very productive.

    Getting into more specific stuff -

    Thanks to provocation from a certain person here I've figured out a relatively simple way to offer both the e-scale models (curved multiscale frets, if you didn't know) and standard multiscale options on the same base designs. So, if the curved frets are putting you off you can now get all retro with me and order a standard fan again.

    The e-scales were an almost ground up re-design of the Oni designs which made all the previous CAD and build fixtures redundant (a big part of why I switched to e-scale only until now). This new approach uses almost all of the e-scale design and applies the standard fan to those fixed parameters, ie. changes to the fretboard and bridge. The scale lengths are very slightly different to the originals. So, summarizing - 6, 7 and 8 strings can now be ordered in e-scale or with a standard fan.

    I have one 8 string with a standard fan available that will be finished in the next few months. Ash body, blackwood neck, fretboard undecided, finish undecided. Anyone who commits now gets a say in those final specs, otherwise I'll just finish it up making those decisions as I go and list it on completion. As stated earlier please email or use Facebook Messenger to contact me.

    Last little tidbit - I'm working on the final design aspects of a long scale 7 string intended for a low F# or thereabouts. Essentially an 8 minus the treble string. Roughly 27" - 29" scale lengths (I work in metric).

    :shred:

    "Huckleberry" is a southern USA dialectical name for what I would call a Bilberry. I'm not sure what they are called in Oz, but I'd imagine you probably have them there as well. They are delicious in pies.

    The expression "I'm your huckleberry" is slang for "I'm the right guy." It'd usually be used in the context where you have a specific skill to accomplish something, though, for example:

    Customer: "Howdy, neighbour! Hey, do y'all reckon whereabouts I might find a feller who can fix a two-cycle engine? My lil' ol' weed-whacker just .... the bed on me."
    Mechanic: "I'm your huckleberry!"

    That one with the blue stain on that top. :drool:

    We could all use some more Oni guitars in our life. Every now and again I pop into the guitars for sale section and check if there are any going around. I think only saw one Oni FS thread, which tells me that no one wants to get rid of theirs. Or it tells me no one has any. :lol:

    First assessment is correct. No one wants to sell them.

    I've seen like 4 pop up on reverb in the last few years but they tend to get snatched up quickly.

    Yep. One was last year at one point. But that's the only one I've seen since around the time I put money down on my build in early 2019.

    That blue one is going to be a crazy build... Dan gave me the deets. We are the USA dealer for them and have 4 on order currently. 2 Essi 8's, a 6 & 7 string A-Type. We sold our previous inventory. Congrats Thrasher.

    Yeah, he told me that one was going to be pretty crazy. I'm interested to see how it turns out. I have complete confidence in Dan's adaptations and ideas. Mine is my daily player for sure, but its also changing how I play and makes me want to try new stuff all the time.
