Thank you...I hope to be able to do these for a long time to come.

[BeeTL]

I will entertain offers on either of these two via PM, and I will extend the $895 shipped (lower 48 only) pricing to any bodies in stock and committed in 2011.

I'll post pics of the current bodies in the next day or so, and I hope to have at least a couple more bass bodies in inventory shortly.

Colors options will include Artwork in the Synthetic, Surf or Standard styles; Solid or Translucent Classic Sonic, Classic Surf, Classic Blonde, Black, White, Trans Walnut, Trans Amber, Trans Red Mahogany.

So I'm looking to give Lowe Custom Guitars a good go of it.

I've registered the bottle opener headstock with the US patent office, and I am starting a Facebook page for the business.

I may even Tweet a bit here and there.

Please feel free to send a friend request.

Also, a dedicated LCG website is not far behind...

Here are the bodies that are coming down the line so far, and I hope to add a few more basses.

All are front bound with belly cuts except the double-bound TetraSonic.

I will collaborate with prospective purchasers on finishes and other details if there is interest, otherwise I'll let the muse inspire me...

TetraSonic La Cabs in ash:





ChromaSonic basses in ash:





ChromaSonic guitars in ash:





TetraSonics in ash and a...SuGarSonic(?) in poplar.

These are awesome. I'm really digging the black tele on the far right. Is that one routed for a bucker in the bridge? If so, I'm very interested and would like to keep track of its development!

P.S. Just noticed the Catalina Gretsch set in the background! I've got the exact same kit - hope you love it as much as I do.

[Desert Rat]

Great take on the tele headstock. I'm not in the market, but I sincerely want to encourage you.... Good Luck!

Best, Dave

Thanks guys!

Yes, the Tele has an HB in the bridge.

I'm going to put these up as a silent auction...$500 reserve / $895 Buy It Now shipped in the US lower 48.

I'll post photos and specs of each in the classifieds in the next week or so, but the basics are US made bodies, nitro finish, AllParts necks, Lollar TV Jones or Fralin pickups, CRL, CTS, Deluxe Gator case, etc.

Yes, I'm giving them away!!!
