Welcome to our instruments section. This page is an overview of all the basses, guitars and other projects that are either in progress or available for sale.

What's coming in 2008?
We have several new and exciting projects for 2008 listed below these images:
 
1.
6 string Fretless Acoustic Bass
I will be building two of these - one for myself and one for a customer. They will be full bodied acoustic instruments made from various exotic woods. One will be fretless, and one possibly fretted.
2.

33" scale 5-string bass
This bass will be a compact, light 5-string bass with a killer sound. It will feature our own high-output dual coil pickups and also our own Watson Pre-Amp System

3.
Electric Upright Bass
A full scale electric upright built as a prototype for models we hope to feature next year. We have had several requests for basses like these.
4.
Extended Range Electric Guitar
Body style and materials yet to be established, but this will be at least a 30 fret standard scale electric guitar. It will have split coil humbucking pickups (probably our own Watson models) and we also plan to make this one ACTIVE with our own Watson preamp. This one is for a customer.
5.

7-string fanned fret bass.
More info on this one soon. Still working on the plans.
