Thanks!!! :-)

I don't have prices on the website since currencies, taxes etc. vary from country to country. Please email me and I'll give detailed info on the model(s) you're interested in!

Thanks for ya all for the overwhelming feedback, I've received tons of email about the Unicorn! This is extremely exciting project for me as a builder, you know to open up the whole process (which usually is pretty secret..) to public! Stay tuned, the episode #4 is cooking up, will be out next week! -Juha-

Yes Frank Manetti uses our Duke Sonic guitar with two P90 pickups on many of the tracks. Some of the music - dunno which songs - were recorded before Frank had our guitars in his use.

Provided my investments do go south this year, I'll be going to Galloup School of Lutherie Master Program next spring... as long as the economy doesn't get in the way of my mid-life crisis!
