We're ready to have some help with testing our new website. Please poke around, check it out, and let me know what you think!
I only have 32 of the Custom Archive articles converted to the new format. Also Custom Archive images are not moved to the new server yet, so that part will be s-l-o-w for another day or so.
Please let me know about errors, broken links, and what works and doesn't work.
Thank you!

Looking at mobile is quite nice as well.

This is looking really good already! I noticed there is no Epic listed under basses. Just curious, has it been retired from the "standard" lineup?

Sorry to break it to you, but the Epic hasn't been in the standard lineup for quite a while. This is the current website list of basses:

And I'm not sure, but I think it's been maybe 8 years since we took the Epic off the list. Always available by special order of course.
And glad you think it's looking good!

I'm finally seeing it on a computer (rather than on mobile device).  The custom Further is jaw dropping!

I was wondering why a Series I is not listed under "Guitars", and also why Series instruments are not listed under "Favorites"?

Some new faces under "People" :)

The website looks very nice, I'll keep reading through it as well, nice work!  :)

Classico isn't listed under basses.
Taking new pictures and will add it soon.

Series I guitar: we haven't made on in over ten years. Every Series guitar is a Series II. In fact, the last Series I guitar we made was converted to a Series II.

The "Favorites" section is more for people that don't know where to start. Sort of like a "Most Popular" section, and I'm sure Series I/II will take a turn on the front page.

New people are fun! Looking to have a couple more new faces here next year.

Thanks for looking! I really appreciate all the feedback.

Also glad you liked that Further, Rob. I adore the new version of the body with the omega.

Koty!

That is my favorite part of the website, the section for Meet Our Staff.

I was going through the pictures of the Series II basses. Image 13 sure looks like Cocobolo to me not Buckeye Burl as it is labeled. Going back to poke around some more but so far it all looks great!

Thanks for catching that! I've corrected it.

I was just talking to someone on the phone as they were browsing and they got a big surprise when they hit the scroll wheel while looking at one of the bass pages. When you are looking at one of the example images you can really zooooooom in. They yelped with glee over it!
