Here's a little photo diary showing the new Stormshadow Guitarworks En-V  Prototype Model becoming reality:

This model is routed by CNC, it's the only Stormshadow to be produced this way and has taken a lot of setup time & work , plus a few scrap/test bodies (this one was the finished Arched Honduran Mahogany blank and 5A Quilted Maple Drop Top)

Routing the outer shape and jack socket wiring channel from a 2 piece Centre Joined blank of Honduran Mahogany. As well as the Archtop carving.

Lately we've had a lot of requests for a Stormshadow Khamsin (LP) Model with Floyd and smooth, better access heel, so we're in the middle of designing one right now!!

We have made a couple of changes to the standard Khamsin model by flipping the control rout 90 degrees to get the control closer to the playing position, also fitting the switch in the control rout instead of in the top shoulder, as well as smooth neck heel, deep recessed Floyd Rose Original and Maple neck as standard. These will be our new 'modern' take on a classic.

More design and prototype pics coming soon!! Let's hear your thoughts??
