Elevations in progress

The prototype has gone through a couple of changes… We’ve replaced the knob on the tone control, all three knobs are the same now.. We have also placed another set of pickups because we felt the first set (Bare Knuckle VHII & Mule) we’d put in were a bit to modern for our taste in combination with this guitar.
It now holds a set of (also) Bare Knuckle Black Dog humbucker pickups and we are very excited about the match with this guitar! It has a very distinguished sound to it, it sounds like a genuine classic..! We call it ‘Authority‘ – because this guitar gives you a feeling of dominion. We challenge you, dear reader, to come by our shop and try this amazing instrument yourself! (scroll down for pics)

At the moment Sander is working on three new Elevations, which are looking beautiful! Allow me to give you a small preview of this triplet:

   

Aren’t they gorgeous..?

   

And who said you couldn’t use the piece with the most flames on the back?

check this out!

As we posted two weeks ago about the new prototype being in it’s final stages, I now have some footage for you of what it looks at this point… We’re working hard to get it finished this week, but since it is very busy we can’t promise you anything. Here it is:

Reflection for a maniac

Well, I hope you all had a great end of last year and we wish you all the best for this coming year, 2009! We’re excited about it because there’s a lot of good things just right around the corner..!

As we speak, and snow is coming down outside, we’re finishing the new guitar prototype… Sander is finishing the poslishing and buffing process which is pretty time consuming since this model has a set neck. I can tell you it’s gaining more beauty every minute! This model has got so much tone already in it’s body and neck that’s it will sound amazing when it’s finished. We’ll start taking orders soon… :)

Well, have to get back to work… Untill next week!

Oh, almost forgot. One of our customers, Peter van Gestel from The Memphis Maniacs, had a show in Paradiso and send us this picture made by photographer Raoul Kramer - Raoulphotography.com:
