Signature AT Guitar...

15:10 After all the talk about an endorsement, the first big announcement I can make is that a famed Spanish luthier will hand build a guitar to my exact specifications. This is an endorsement I am absolutely proud of. Getting an artesan to trust you enough to commit to creating an instrument built around you is such a privilege, and opens all sorts of possibilities.

This also means there are plenty of ways to screw up in the design, but fortunately we will be developing the instrument through close collaboration...

Things to consider, beyond the obvious shape and color of the guitar, include the woods that are used, the characteristics of the neck, it's scale, width, radius, material, what bridge you need, tuning pegs, pickups and configuration, circuitry, and countless other things.

For contractual reasons, the name of the luthier can not be divulged at this moment, but you'll hear all about him soon enough. The process of building an instrument with this level of craftsmanship is a long one, and we are hoping to get a final version of it at the end of the summer. In the meantime, I will keep you posted regarding new developments and as much details as I am allowed.
