Back in the Shop
I feels good to be back in the shop making things again! I shipped out some CCII’s last week and have a couple more going out tomorrow, thanks for your patience. My hand still has a ways to go before I’ll be able to play guitar or carve a neck. In the mean time I’ve been doing some pick guard inlay. Hit me up if you want your name or a design hand inlayed to dress your guitar up. I just finished this one for my friend Frank Tutwiler.

Josh recently outfitted his L7 with one of my archtop pickups. Here it is running through some pedals into a very cool Gibson BR-9. I love this arrangement. If anyone has a BR-9 they want to sell send me an email.
Hand Surgery Update
After talking about it for years I finally had Dupuytren’s surgery on my left hand Dec 16th. It’s been about four weeks. The pins in my pinky will come out in 2 weeks and then I can start physical therapy. The doctor was pleased the surgery results and thinks I’ll be playing guitar in no time. I’m jonesing to get back to work! My website store will remain open while my hand recovers. So if you’re looking to order a pickup or vibrato and you’re a hurry shoot me an email first to find out how long it’ll take. Pickups and aluminum parts are about 8 or so weeks out as of now.
Also, I’m helping Hometown Jersey sell through her blue and gold striped sleeve jerseys. You can order them with Smith Fabrication, Smith Equipped here. Or customized any way you like here. They’re patterned off vintage racing jerseys so check the size chart before you order.
