Weekend Update: Pineapple Express, Mortal Sin & Matt B Fret Board
It was a busy week in the wood shop. Mike has 4 guitars in process, one being spec-ed out right now and a bass coming up in the very near future.
Matt B’s electronics have arrived and his build will be back on the table this coming week. Mike and Matt have also settled on a fret board design, so Doug at Parable will be working on that as well.
