So i just put a downer on one of these. They appear to be a small Minneapolis guitar brand making some really kooky shit. Price point seems really great and designs are sick. The FAQ on their site is banging. I chose a 27" walnut baritone for C#. Their standard baritones are 28.5-30". They also make standard scale guitars and short and long scale basses. The site says they do customs in about 3 months so we will see. Heres a quote from their website:

We hand-select the very best Tone Crystals (TM) to slowly, sensually rub on every build. We infuse our glue with crushed Tone Crystals (TM) to ensure ideal mojo-transfer throughout every joint. This does take time, but it's essential.

i dig those split pickup models.

[DRodriguez]

Those look awesome. Not something that I personally would use style-wise, but they look fantastic. And I love that they're doing interesting things pickup wise.

these are cool as hell. wish i had the scratch for a custom. wish I had money at all. but i really dig the aesthetic on these. if they play as nice as they look... hot damn.

[coldbrightsunlight]

These look incredible! Love their pick guards and the odd looks. Nice to see something a bit odd out there

[kosta]

That's some wild shit right there. Nice find.

I was on board at first glance of the first pic, despite the pickguard & headstock not being my thing

Oh man, if I had the money, this would've been mine now.

I believe Donovan has dibs on that currently

Heres a video I found of a space cowboy playing a baritone. Being from space myself I approve this message.
