Oni started in 2005, building from almost a decade of repair work. Originally the focus was on extended range electrics, primarily 7 and 8 strings. Approx 2012 the e-scale concept was born, which brought about a complete redesign of the instrument based on my preferred body outline. Options were dropped due to the build complexity, and the design refined over the next few years. As of 2018 this model is now known as Essi, available in 6, 7 and 8 string versions.
2017 saw the introduction of a much more straight forward instrument, the Brute. At the time of writing Brutes are available as a 6 string stoptail model. The design is something of a guitar chameleon, allowing me to entirely change the aesthetic while keeping the same overall lines.
Occasionally I build something completely different. The "Specials" are guitar building challenges, driven by an initial idea and improvised from there.
