Lloyd has started his OWN guitar company

[Zamiale]

When he told me, (about a year ago) he made me sign a non-disclosure agreement so no one would find out too early. It's called San Dimas Guitars. I haven't had an opportunity to play one yet, but they look great. He said that his site; sandimasguitars.com will be up by the end of the week. Until then you can see some pics here: http://www.brooksguitarworld.com/whats_new.html
Scroll about halfway down the page.

He has already got 15 pieces made so far.

He told me that his idea was to have an online site where someone could spec out and order a guitar exactly how he or she wants it without having to pay a customshop price. Right now he only has bolt on's, but hopefully that will change in the future. Best of luck to him.

I like Lloyd but the headstock is fugly...do you know the price or who is building them?

Re: Lloyd has started his OWN guitar company

I'm not exactly sure who he has building them. I do know that the guy has experience somewhere. He no Joe Smedlop the ragman guitar builder. He has a resume.

Looks like Lloyd may know the JCF crew better than FMIC. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

Damn, those are AWESOME. Where have I seen that Satan graphic before?

Re: Lloyd has started his OWN guitar company

Hmmm... wonder how the trademark scenario
will play out between Lloyd, FMIC/JMIC,
and The City of San Dimas? [img]graemlins/brow.gif[/img]

Re: Lloyd has started his OWN guitar company

They sure look nice! I really like the one with the metal plates and the nose art. I am interested to see the price...

Re: Lloyd has started his OWN guitar company

...Those guitars are awesome...but man that headstock is UUUUGLY! [img]graemlins/scratchhead.gif[/img] Very early 80's Kramer/Cort knockoff vibe. Kinda messes up the whole thing...still, that Coop devil head and the bolted steel one are hot!

Re: Lloyd has started his OWN guitar company

Actually, I think the headstock looks pretty good, and I like the logo and the name, too. I don't think anyone can prevent him from naming his company after a geographical location.

Re: Lloyd has started his OWN guitar company

Yeah, I like the name better than 'Wayne', and agree that legally they can call it Bumf**k if they want [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] . Can't deal with the headstock, though---for me it's gotta be a pointy or strathead (which of course they can't do). Here's another question for you: anybody else besides me DESPISE rounding the fretboards at the 22nd/24th fret? That's another thing I always loved about C/J necks...it just looks so much classier IMO. Oh, and before you guys get on me abut the functionality/adjustability issue, I'm fine with the extra three minutes it takes to remove the neck if the adjustment is at the butt-end....
