    Hi there - stupid question for you. I am considering a chambered Afterburner II and love the carved f-hole on the bass, but as I am a very active rock player can get rather sweaty throughout the course of a night. While in reality it isn't all that much water, is there any reason to be concerned about the possibility of some sweat regularly finding its way into the interior of the bass? Thank you very much for your time and for making such excellent instruments! Brian Holloway

  11. Can you make concave-body instruments?

  12. Do you make a baritone guitar? I think a bari would be awesome with fanned frets.

  13. Are you considering a neck-thru version of any of your basses in the near future ? Been playing professionally all my life, but am hooked on the neck-thru's because of the sustain. Thanks !

  14. where can I find stainless steel strings? what brands and gauges will work best?
