Thanks folks, and thanks Jason for coming by...

Just a few things...

The base model comes with either Khaya or Sapele depending on what's on the shelves.

Our options are actually more or less restricted to tonality, rather than playability. (Playability is the easy part). I suppose a cutaway defies that, but you know what I mean.

We try to provide a wide range of lovely yet affordable wood choices across the spectrum from dry and fundamental, to awash with overtones. As well, we build parlours to mini jumbo with pretty much every stop in between to try to accommodate everybody.

Anyone wishing to join the cult, be advised that the Initiation Rites are very bizarre indeed...

Just perusing the Fretboard Journal on-line and came across the article. There is a podcast as well John that's a couple of years old now but still worth a listen if you havnt heard it.

Nice! Being Canadian, I should have been aware of this new (to me!) Canadian luthier. Visited his website and I'll be paying more attention from now on.

Prime Minister Tim Horton has a double-double waiting for you!

Well, we don't do any advertising, so the only reason you'd ever hear of us is if you happen to come across a random thread such as this, or if you had come across the original FJ podcast...

That's great recognition, Ed. Nice that the AGF got mentioned.

Nice follow-up, Ed. Are you using more cedar and Englemann these days (looks like what's on the shelf next to your favorite Lutz)?
