Oh - tales of our demise have been a bit premature.
I have taken the step of revising what we quote to more accurately reflect the rising cost of materials and the time involved to make these guitars what we want them to be.
2017 will be quite busy as we need to complete the 25th Anniversary models, complete some Blackmachine B6s and a number of custom commissions. We also have a largish number of started stock builds that we will be making for sale too.

Great news. Hope it works out the way you'd like.

FelineGuitars · December 2016

We may get less commissions due to the necessary price increase but will be able to lavish the time we like to on the builds that we do get and maybe make just a limited number of "special" stock guitars each year - like a limited edition for that year

That will be the way forward I think.

I think that's the perfect way forward. When you're able to devote the time to make sure each guitar is the best they can be down to the last screw I'm sure the overwhelming 'fizz' of job satisfaction will bloom to new levels. Plus when the punter realises how much time, effort, skill and patience has gone into each build process the price will become justified.

The 25th is coming along nicely now

We are also doing a series of 5 flat-top versions of the 25th Anniversary with rosewood boards and headstock overlays
These will have a Humbucker bridge/P90 neck configuration which has been popular with a lot of players

Here are the first images

Those tops are amazing - I like little ripple at the bottom

Those eyes should be your new logo :-)

Stevepage · February 2017

I'd have the eyes, nose and mouth as a 12th fret inlay

It's just a plan to sell off the necks where I did the inlays a bit wonky?

We have the backplates for the 25th Anniversary guitars now

The flattop 25th model is looking (and sounding) amazing

What P90 did you go with in that? Looks amazing too!

FelineGuitars · February 2017

On the flat-top we have a Bare Knuckle Mule at the bridge and a Bare Knuckle Blue Note P90 at the neck

Can't decide if I want a cream cover and cream ring or a black cover and black ring

The arch tops are all having the Oil City Masterwound Pat 63 humbucker set

Fez · February 2017

IMHO the P90 would look better black. That top is stunning.

FelineGuitars · April 2017

Sometimes even I am taken aback by pretty grain patterns - This is number 4 of the 25th Anniversary Flat-tops

hubobulous · April 2017

^^^^ That is incredible grain

Teyeplayer · April 2017

Beautiful grain... will need a bigsby though.

ThorpyFX · April 2017

Nah you've painted that on! Must have

Adam_MD · April 2017

Wow any idea what colour that ones getting?

stand_made · April 2017

Wow woweeee!

Voxman · April 2017

Stunning top - P90 definitely looks good in the cream - a matching cream p/up selector surround would be nice too I think. . What about coil taps - is there a push-pull for the h/b? Would make it much more versatile.

All these are possible...why not order one up?
