I want simple.
I want a rugged geetar that I wouldn't be afraid to gig.
I don't want to sob like a baby when it gets it's very first scratch/ding.
I want something Old school/Retro.

I thought it wasn't what you wanted but what other guitarists wanted. When did the focus of the project change?

we are VERY interested in inlays. We just have tool up for that and figure out how to do that. Keep in mind, we just built our first neck on Sunday. Judging on the quality of our first neck, there is A LOT of good things to come.

I have been listening...intently. However, someone has to captain the ship and make final decisions. Besides, we haven't brought in any real money yet, and I just don't have the tooling to do the inlays...but, if I did, I'd be inclined to do the pg-shaped dots.
