Our friend Andy Birko and his CNC guitar parts company, Birkonium made some special and custom parts for us.
Although I neglected to get a pic of the maple fret board one of our guys is restoring and modifying a 30's archie to be a border crosser. More specifically a guitar with no embargoed parts on it, BRW, etc. So we needed a maple exact replacement and Andy delivered and we are absolutely thrilled.
What I did get a picture of are the custom fretboards that Dave needed for a special project that will lead to a published article about fret wire. If you recall Dave had converted a sewing machine to be a fret wire torture tester.
Andy delivered again and we are thrilled with the boards pictured below as well.For those who don't know Andy his company, Birkonium .com a CNC guitar parts maker offers necks, bridges and a host of other very cool products all of superb quality!
Here is a huge thanks to Andy for his very valued assistance!!!!
