Zero Impact Project Update

As the month has progressed, so has the project. Inital design work completed earlier this month on the inital solar array and will be ordered the first of next month.

There has been a emergency project at the engravers so we are allowing the Zero Impact 1 project to set for a few days and begining on the next project. Stay tuned for updates and new pictures.


Thanks to everyone that checks in to my blog and the website. I hope to be able to setup the newletter and begin to review some of the projects and new gear out very soon.

Thanks again,

Remembering the Hero's

We at Zero Impact Guitars, join the entire Country in Remembering the Victims and their Families, of the terror attacks of September 11, 2001.

Stay alert, we can't let the cowards that wish to destroy us even get another hit on us.
They can't win. We all know that, just remain vigilant. We are stronger together than alone so lets continue to stand together.

God Bless America.
NEVER FORGET!!!!!!!!!

Quick Sneek Peek...

OK. Got the bridge today for the new axe.

Looks good. Not going to send this one out for custom engraving yet. Oh, it will go, just not yet.

I wanted to post this pic out here as soon as I set the bridge into the position. The patern of the grain and the colors just came alive when it was placed. I'm very excited about this project...

Just look at that grain. This is a great looking guitar if I do say so myself. Oooooooooo goodie, more toys.....

Quick Update September 10, 2008

Well, we are looking into the solar panels for the prototype shop now. Looks like we are on track for a early winter grand opening of the shop. We are planning to go to the January Guitar Show in Orlando to unveil our project. Our initial response has been fair. We are gearing up for the test marketing project with the two prototypes now. We will be at the FIU Music Department mid to late November. The last prototype will be the "High End" version of the Mark-V called the ZIG Mark-Vlx due to be presented at the January Show.



We are also in the process of wrapping up the final details of the eco-Axe. This guitar body will be constructed entirely from "smartwood", finished using water based products and eco friendly application techniques and entirely hand assembled and setup. This is why we decided to do this. To produce a professional grade guitar that has the smallest impact on the environment as possible. There are many things we can do to help out our planet and the envoironment. We can't do it alone though. We need your help. Please remember to reduce, recycle and reuse as much as possible.

OK, we have another one of the prototypes ready for polishing. I have yet to decide on the bridge yet but more than likely I'll put Gold hardware on this beauty.

This version is an extremely light weight swamp ash body with a Zero Impact Custom Cherry Sunburst Finish, Custom eAxe Lic Gold Floyd Rose Tremolo, EMG SA Pickups, Custom Arrow Neck with Grover Locking Gold Tuners.

This axe has been through the wringer as far as the finish. this body started out purple. The finish had some major flaws though so I decided to sand it down and start from scratch. I think it turned out pretty good. I do hope you agree.

Anyway, check back to see the finished product by the end of the month. I should have the next project underway by then also.

Until next time, keep on keepin on.
