If I were to re-learn the guitar, I’d learn touch guitar. I learned the keyboard before the guitar, and it just makes sense. The two-handed tapping technique was first introduced by one of the earliest pioneers, Jimmie Webster in his 1952 method book “The Touch System for Electric and Amplified Spanish Guitar”. I first came …
Easter 2022. We’re rolling back prices to pre-Covid rates and beyond. An Easter gift to everyone. We’ve streamlined our operations for 2022. And by doing so, and despite the global chip shortage and supply chain delays, we were still able to significantly optimize our manufacturing costs by scaling up. We can do that, now that …
Flashing this batch of fresh MIDI-GK boards for a set of Nexus boxes. These guys are ready to go!
January 2022… I was looking back at the roadmap I presented in 2018. We’ve come a long way since then. Some plans were adhered to, some not. The Modula pickup did not make the cut. Instead, we had a complete redesign, and continued on with XR-Spectra: following the lineage of the original XR pickup as …
I am a craftsman and an artist, above everything else. After more than a decade’s worth of research and development, I am delighted to announce that my masterpiece Thor — a carbon fiber and hardwood hybrid concept guitar with cutting-edge electronics and infinite multichannel sustain — is now raring to reach you.

This global shortage of semiconductors is hurting us! I was hoping it will end soon, but it’s getting worse. Now, we have supply problems with ALL semiconductors in our products, and I have to redesign around the problem with alternative chips, whenever possible. Or, find alternative sources. We hit a snag last month with the …
Dual GK-13? This one is a custom project for Reto Byell’s 8-string guitar. He utilizes two Axon NGC 66 neural midi guitar controller synth along with two Roland VG99s. The first 4 channels go to the GK-13 pin connector at the back, while the other 4 channels go to the GK-13 pin connector at the …
Thor, introduced last year, is my masterpiece. Following Thor, I proudly announce Valkyrie. It shares the electronics of Thor, but avoiding the more expensive Carbon Fiber construction. It took us months to refine Valkyrie. There’s a story behind Valkyrie x001 I’d like to share later.
