As usual at  , we take full advantage of existing technology in order to design from the get go EVERY model the most accurate possible way in a 3D environment so we can layout every component in the right place in order to achieve the best possible looking and sounding guitar with no surprises and not having to waste time and material. 

For this method to work, every component involved in each model must be drawn, once more, as accurate to the real deal as possible. 

This is an S model with the GE1996T - THE most consistent, reliable and best tuning stability double locking tremolo on the market today. As a side note, at AES Guitars, we use GOTOH hardware exclusively, with just a few minor exceptions. 

More on that and a bunch of other cool stuff pretty soon...

I ALWAYS work listening to some radio (.porto) or, in alternative, any random playlist.

As I was sanding and overall shape refining the first 7 string neck, I chose the Passion & Warfare record as it was the first time I actually saw and listened to a 7 string guitar for the first time - such an iconic and breakthrough record for Steve and also for for this amazing instrument! History was made, and the guitar world forever changed!

What to do on a VERY STORMY weekend? Work. Loads of things to be revised, developed, and so on and so forth.
There's no concrete release date yet, but there are SO many tip top things being cooked as we speak. I'm very excited about it and looking forward to sharing it with you all!

Bears hibernate. I sand. I'll be gone for a significant amount of time. More than I wish, but being myself an antisocial individual, easy peasy! 👾

When every guitar claims to be special, how can any guitar truly stand out?
