Cool The First Batch

Hi Guys!
Just a super quick update for those that have been following along. I'll be doing more video updates on my newsletter as I make progress with this initial batch!

Let me know what colour you'd like to see!

Thanks,

Nice! Colors...red, and I think you mentioned "plum." But I don't know what that would be. As a fruit, I've seen red plums, black plums yellow plums. So I can't say "plum" because I don't know what that color would look like.

Plumb, as in a deep purple verging on red/brown. Or at least that's how i think of it; maybe i need to eat more plumbs! :P

Thanks for the update, Simon. Do you have any images yet of what the color plum would look like on your guitars? I can't visualize "Deep purple verging on red/brown" but it sounds intriguing. Also, any new videos of your guitars being played with pickup/no pickup?

I've tried to photoshop an image for you; its close but not quite what i have in mind; but maybe it will give you an idea (it's the teal guitar, roughly photoshopped to change the colour).

Hoping to have some playing in my next video!

Love the teal but what I’d really like is a matte black.

Thanks!

As in, a matt clear coat over the carbon (so that you still see the weave) or opaque matt black?
