I'll definitely think about putting something like that into minor production, or at the very least I'll try prototyping a couple. The only thing I wonder would be how to cut out the contour on the body. None of the guitars I make require anything of that nature, I would imagine it would be a band saw jig followed by some rough drum sanding, obviously that wouldn't work on Lucite as all abrasives will do is scratch the material, not shape it. If I can fit all the contours into the CNC mill, it could do the work for me, but that's assuming each one is smaller than the x axis movement on the machine.

Back in 1835, when Halley's Comet was overhead, same night those men died at the Alamo, they say Samuel Colt made a gun. A special gun. Story goes, he made thirteen bullets. This hunter used the gun a half dozen times before he disappeared, the gun along with him. They say... they say this gun can kill anything.......

True, I've been manually providing contours via table routers with bearing bits as well as drum sanders, also using a lower profile to make neck and fretboard radiuses for the first upright bass and I'm probably happier with the outcome (relatively speaking) moreso than any of the other models. Takes a bit more manually work though.

!~! FRAMUS COBRA - 100 WATT GUITAR AMP HEAD FOR SALE!! !~! I have a killer amp head in very good condition for sale! I bought this thing used in 2005 and have only used it THREE TIMES. This amp sounds spectacular and would be a GREAT amp for someone looking for a Boogie Rectifier-type sound. I'm a bedroom player so it's too loud and simply the wrong amp for my needs. I still have the original box, footswitch and owner's manual. This amp sells for $2,399 US new and I'm selling mine for just $1,300 CAD. Leave me a reply here on write to me in a private message if you're interested. THANKS! :-D

P.S. THIS THING GLOWS RED WHEN YOU TURN IT ON AND WOULD LOOK SICK AS HELL ON STAGE.

P.P.S. The amp I used in all my YouTube recordings is a 65 watt Crate solid state amp. Just incase you thought it was the Cobra and thought it sounded like shit lol.

HammerBar Acoustic to Digital Piano converter bars. 3 Left in stock @ $799.99 (A fraction of the cost compared to a Moog PianoBar or PNOscan system)

Great for having the feel of a true acoustic upright or grand piano, while being able to control the sound/samples and volume like you would an electronic keyboard. USB or MIDI output.

African Paduak in place of Bloodwood, Dark Wenge Fretboard, Dark walnut base = evil incarnate. I'm sure the black powdercoated parts and black ABS doesn't help it look less evil as well.

That's about as minimalistic as a Touchstyle 10 stringer will get from me =) The extensive woodchoice is just so I can do an oil finish rather than having to actually paint an instrument.

Use nice and/exotic woods = customers love it, and you only have to sand down to about 1k-2k before it's ready for a few days worth of oiling, polishing, and buffing.

Use cheaper or heavily porous woods, and I have to have an instrument sit around in the shop for weeks, priming, sanding, painting, sanding, coating, sanding, curing, buffing. Plus painted instruments are a dime a dozen in most stores.

Are those excuses so I don't have to take the time to properly paint? Yes. But even so, I don't think I could find a standard (not custom) painted instrument with a finish that looks as beautiful as a nicely oiled and polished exotic wood. I'm biased towards it, but if people really wanted painted Touchstyles, they can always have Stu Box build them one, and he does a great job on painting.
