We’ve taken down the spraybooth, and transferred over the heavy equipment.  Now we have to finish the move (and get the new shop heater working – it’s been incredibly cold for the last 2 days).

I can’t wait to have the new shop up and running.

Stay tuned for more cool news …

We do have a couple of Fusions left, but they’re selling too, so I would encourage anyone who doesn’t want to wait for the next batch to write Chuck asap.

We also had a wonderful comment on the Gear Page!  One of the few people who’ve already played our prototype Classic guitar (our take on the Tele) raved about it.

To all of our friends, and to the people in the press, we thank you.
