We loaded up the family and hit US 1 for our inspirational trip for the next Guitar project. Along the way, we found some nice places to take some pictures of an eco-Axe in its "natural" environment. I hope you enjoy these as much as we did taking them.

The wife and I driving,

Seven Mile Bridge...

Near Marathon...This is the photo we are putting on the website. This was what made the trip all worth while.

Well, this was what the trip was all about. lol...

When we turned around. Not sure. I think we were near Key West. Notice the poor little stuffed duck on the road. Soft Road Kill..


Check back soon and stay tuned...

WHERES THE BRIDGE!

Here it is. This is a picture of the custom bridge for the ZIG#1. It is an 80's model from Schecter that I sent to RIP to be custom engraved. I appreciate Eddies work along with his team. They took time out from one of their custom show projects to work on my project. Thanks again guys, looks great and turned out better than I expected.

Re Introducing the Zero Impact Guitars Replica #1...

Here it is! The ZIG#1.
The tone is Rich, Warm and Sweet. Kinda like a nicely heated "Honey Bun". Anyway, we are still working on the second prototype. Still have the eco-Axe on the drawing board and I'll show you the design once I have the final view ready.

This guitar though is a milestone for the company. It represents the fact that we can do this. We have the vendors lined up to supply our "smart wood". We have our vendor selected for our hardware and electronics and we have our custom paint and finishing department under development.

Our intention is to provide some custom graphics to our designs. "Air Brush". As I develop new projects and ideas, I plan to publish them on this blog first, then on my website.

Thanks again for checking in.

Stay Tuned (;-)

Project Update for 1 October

Hello all, and welcome to October.
This month we hope to begin the installation of some of the solar equipment at the shop. Initally, we will be running the lighting and computers from the cells. This along with the hand assembly of the instruments keeps us within our personal goal of a Zero Impact manufacturing and assembly process.

I would like to thank all of those who support our project either with financial, moral or labor suport. We would not be able to do this without your help.

I would like to extend a special thanks to my Wife, Arelys for her suport and encouragement to continue the fight and to move forward with the project.

After several drawbacks and financing issues, we have developed a new plan to complete the project a bit behind schedule but still completing it. I have to remind myself that it ain't going to be easy. If it were, everyone would be opening businesses and selling products. There is a rough road ahead, and this possibly isn't the best time to open a new business. But I would not be true to myself if I were not able to express myself through my guitars.

I believe my guitars to be of exceptional construction, extreemly unique and of the highest quality materials available. Once I have the new model designed, I will be publishing where you may view the Zero Impact Mark-V.

Thanks again for checking in with me. I'll have some pic's later this week of the solar installation.
