Awesome BP, love the sound of the switching options! Thanks for giving us some insight into the proto process and the cool things in development, rocks to have a company interested in keeping the customer involved and abreast of your headspace! :D

Drew/BP - great photos - thanks for showing us. The idea of a chambered guitar really intrigues me. I have never played a Fender thinline that I have liked - maybe you guys have "cracked it" with the addition of the tone block to the chambers.

BP make sure you check into the party thread on the weekend at some point - I have some photos of you and Albert playing - taken a long time ago in the UK - Albert is playing a Silo.

Very cool, BP. Thanks for sharing. It's great that the axis style body is getting a comfort radius.

Man, semi-hollow option(if it's still going to be available) + hardtail +mm90's + piezo could very well =

WIN!!!!!!

BP,

thanks for the next installment, it's getting very exciting! - something I found with my BFR was it was more comfortable (for me) to play standing up rather than sitting down as the tone block made the guitar (a little) heavier - the chambering and the tone block must make the anniversary as light if not lighter than a regular ball? - my non BFR al is practically weightless....

I had a (another guitar brand) chambered body in the early 90's - great idea but in it's infancy, that particular guitar company abandoned the idea and "returned to it's classic roots" - but I've always found chambered bodies to give amazing sustain - hook that up with the tone block - I reckon these things will sing...

and if I'm cheeky enough to answer questions do you do Leo's old trick with the screwdriver at the bridge when testing these?

Very exciting,......what's the toggle switch for? Piezo? How much are we looking at for this baby,.....more than the BFR I am guessing?

Again thanks for sharing.
This is the toneblock we can see, right (beneath the routing of the chambers)?
What´s the temperature in SLO? In Germany we have a lot of snow :(
