ea salt lake was an american video game developer located in salt lake city , utah , united states .

it was owned by video game publisher electronic arts ( ea ) .

ea salt lake was founded by the studio 's president , vance cook , as headgate studios in 1992 .

as a veteran programmer for years at access software , the onetime premier developer of golf simulations , cook had the experience and knowledge of how to create a rewarding golfing experience .

headgate 's first product was pentacalc , a scientific calculator for windows .

from 1996 to 1999 , headgate solely developed golf games published by sierra entertainment under sierra 's front page sports brand .

in april 1996 the studio was purchased by sierra .

the golf product was later branded as pga championship golf .

on february 22 , 1999 sierra announced a major restructuring of their company , and sold the rights of the original studio back to cook as a new corporate entity .

in 2000 , headgate began publishing games through electronic arts .

headgate began developing tiger woods pga tour for the pc based on their existing golf engine .

they were assigned by ea to develop the title on pc , ps2 , wii and xbox for the 2007 title , and the pc , ps2 , and wii for the 2008 title , with the xbox line getting cut by ea .

headgate developed every windows version of the ea sports tiger woods golf franchise from 2001 to 2007 .

headgate 's golf games consistently got high praise from industry reviewers and have won numerous industry awards .

on 1 december 2006 , headgate studios was acquired by electronic arts .

headgate was redubbed ea salt lake .

the studios ' focus was redirected to developing games for nintendo 's new console , the wii .

on 21 july 2010 , ea salt lake was moved from its home in bountiful , utah to a new state-of-the-art facility in downtown salt lake city , utah , united states .

in april 2017 , the studio was shut down .

electronic arts has confirmed that an increased focus on mobile development has led to layoffs at its salt lake studio .

. ea miscalculated the success of the wii and when this became apparent , they immediately turned their salt lake studio exclusively to wii development . the studio has since released casual - oriented games for the ea play label such as

" i hope we’ll see some new startups rise—that’s a talented group of people there , " former head of ea salt lake jon dean , who has now formed his own independent gaming studio in utah told the salt lake tribune . " they’re smart and they could easily do their own thing . "

electronic arts has laid off part of the staff at its salt lake city , utah office as it shifts to mobile development .

i began my time with ea in 2004 , working at tiburon in florida , a major development studio within ea sports . after a few years there , i moved to utah to oversee a recently acquired studio in salt lake city to help with ea ' s move into casual gaming and the company ' s partnership with hasbro inc .

as for this " groundbreaking " new project , ea is keeping mum about it . hit up the link below to see executive producer ben bell dodge questions about it while talking up salt lake city some more .

on 21st july 2010 a new office was officially opened in the heart of salt lake city . previously the team worked out of bountiful , utah .

" ea salt lake is becoming largely focused on mobile development , including ‘the sims’ and other projects , " ea said in a statement . " recent shifts unfortunately resulted in the reduction of a few teams . as we look to match skills with opportunities , some staff will be offered other positions at ea , while others will leave the company . "

electronic arts ' salt lake city - based studio is being affected by a round of new layoffs at the company , an ea spokesperson confirmed to polygon today , as the developer transitions to focus largely on mobile platforms .

ea ' s salt lake city , utah studio , home to the sims , littlest pet shop , and nerf development teams , is moving to a larger location and hiring developers for a " groundbreaking " unannounced new project .

" ea salt lake is becoming largely focused on mobile development , including the sims and other projects , " an ea spokesperson said in a statement . " recent shifts unfortunately resulted in the reduction of a few teams . as we look to match skills with opportunities , some staff will be offered other positions at ea , while others will leave the company . "

after it opened , ea salt lake made pc expansion packs for the pc version of " the sims " as well as games based on hasbro licenses such as " hasbro family game night , " " risk " and " monopoly streets . "

" ea salt lake is becoming largely focused on mobile development , including the sims and other projects . recent shifts unfortunately resulted in the reduction of a few teams , " the publisher said in a statement . " as we look to match skills with opportunities , some staff will be offered other positions at ea , while others will leave the company . "

" we ' re truly thrilled to expand into salt lake city and what is becoming a growing and dynamic video game development scene , " said ben bell , executive producer at ea . " we ' re looking to fill several critical leadership positions on an exciting new project . "

while i ' ve never been , my parents assure me that salt lake city is a lovely place to visit , so if you ' ve got the skills and a hankering for a view of the rocky mountains , head over to the ea jobs website to see if anything strikes your fancy .

" ea salt lake is becoming largely focused on mobile development , including & apos ; the sims & apos ; and other projects , " the publisher said thursday in a statement . " recent shifts unfortunately resulted in the reduction of a few teams . as we look to match skills with opportunities , some staff will be offered other positions at ea , while others will leave the company . "

electronic arts salt lake , the video game studio that worked on the popular " the sims " pc games and other family - based titles , has laid off part of its staff to focus on mobile gaming .

ea ' s ultimate golf sim returns , loaded with all - new features . full review .

ea declined to say how many people would be let go as a result of the change .

the studio , which was founded in 2010 , worked primarily on the sims franchise and hasbro brand games ( monopoly street , risk : factions , family game night ) , as well as facebook games . prior to its rebranding as ea salt lake , the developer was known as headgate studios and created numerous golf video games .

" i hope we & apos ; ll see some new startups rise  that & apos ; s a talented group of people there , " said jon dean , the former head of ea salt lake who has now formed his own independent gaming studio in utah . " they & apos ; re smart and they could easily do their own thing . "

ea ' s announcement reads less like a studio expansion announcement and more like travel brochure for salt lake city , discussing the numerous ski resorts , thriving nightlife , broadway shows , and the utah jazz basketball team . in short , they aren ' t discussing the game they ' ll be creating so much as trolling for the talent needed to create it .

yesterday we reported at layoffs at another ea studio , ghost games uk , which developed need for speed : rivals .

the studio had been shifting its focus to mobile gaming after revenues in that sector began to grow for ea . ea & apos ; s mobile and handheld digital net revenue generated $ 125 million in the third fiscal quarter of 2014 , according to ea & apos ; s quarterly results released earlier this week , a 26 percent year - over - year increase over the same period for fiscal 2013 .

some ea mobile games have been hugely profitable for the publisher . the simpsons : tapped out generated 130 million in digital net revenue through the third fiscal quarter of 2013 . in its latest earnings call , ea also reported a net loss of $ 308 million for the quarter .

ea salt lake , which began life as headgate studios all the way back in 1992 , isn ' t one of the highest - profile of electronic arts studios . its repertoire includes a bunch of tiger woods pga tour games , littlest pet shop , nerf n - strike and a bunch of sims 3 expansions . it ' s also been involved in mobile game development , and a decision to focus more exclusively on that means that staffing levels are being reduced .

sources told ign that 40 employees are moving to maxis in california , 35 had been laid off , with an estimated 20 from ea all play . ea ' s all play label is dedicated to digital games , with a focus on mobile and social games , like real racing 3 .

the studio housed more than 100 employees , according to its website , but ea declined to say how many were affected by today ' s cuts .

in 2008 i transferred to ea salt lake ( easl ) and became studio head ; easl had a mission to focus on casual games as part of ea ' s strategic relationship with hasbro . changes within ea saw the hasbro business unit - of which easl was part - move around other labels over time , and eventually easl expanded to also build non - hasbro titles including some sims franchise products . eventually the studio split leaving a dedicated group as part of the sims label , and i took the other part into the company ' s mobile division , where we would work on facebook as well as ' freemium ' titles for the company . my role expanded as general manager to include a studio in raleigh , north carolina , and as a vice president within the mobile division , now rebranded all play .

tiburon was acquired by electronic arts in the 1990s and has been responsible for one of ea ' s most successful franchises - nfl madden , which continues to be a best selling title in north america each year . tiburon is at the heart of ea sports , one of the best known brands of interactive software .

gameplay ea has used the last year of development time wisely . since tiger 2003 had set the foundation for basic gameplay firmly in place , the team took the opportunity to flesh out this year ' s features . there are , of course , new courses ; bethpage black , one of the world ' s most difficult locales , is now on the slate . there are also fantasy ea courses like the predator , which have made it into the pc version . you have access to all 18 courses via simulation mode , so you won ' t need to unlock anything if you don ' t want to .

electronic arts recently announced that a faster - than - expected decline in games for previous - gen consoles led to a 12 percent revenue drop in its third quarter , but its mobile business was up 26 percent year over year and 19 percent over the previous quarter . december was also the company ' s biggest month ever for mobile , with a total of 71 million game downloads from the app store and google play , which ea said made it the top mobile publisher worldwide .

the game incorporates the fedexcup championship format ( a collection of tournaments ) with rounds of golf at westchester country club , tpc boston , cog hill , and east lake . the putt preview has been improved , allowing the player to simulate the ball ' s path once per individual spot , taking into accounts elements such as power , speed and elevation . on the xbox 360 and the ps3 , shots are not performed using the analog stick , but with the 3 - point timed principle for start , power and accuracy . shot confidence is a new addition , keeping track of the player ' s performance on certain courses , for specific puts and using certain clubs . great performances raise the confidence , which translates into experience and better performance on specific courses . low confidence leads to lower accuracy , a pumping heartbeat , and rumbling controls on the wii .

this golfing simulation game is the 2007 multi - platform edition of electronic arts ' tiger woods pga tour franchise . although the game ' s features differ across platforms , most notably from next - gen to current - gen , it has a few things in common across the board : more licensed players , more courses , more game modes , and improved gameface character creation .

on xbox 360 and ps3 feature more realistic characters thanks to the all - new universal capture ( ucap ) technology . ucap is the same technique that was used on

films to generate digital doubles for the lead actors . another next - gen - only feature that the xbox 360 and ps3 share is larger crowds and mass movement of spectators from hole - to - hole , as well as pip cameras . there is also an enhanced career mode where you can master your skills in a new practice facility . the golfers have a new animation state engine that yields more pertinent emotions and reactions based on what happens in gameplay . the game setup has been changed , with different swing styles , and the speed golf setting which allows players to skip to the next shot after the ball has been struck without watching where the ball lands .

ps2 and xbox versions of the game feature a new team tour mode where you can recruit your own squad of golfers to go up against team tiger woods . the pc , ps2 , and xbox versions have the most licensed golfers ( 21 ) in the game . the wii edition of the game features the ability to control your swing using the wiimote .

acquired the company in november 2006 and had it focus entirely on wii development instead .

while it carries the same title as the console versions , tiger woods pga tour on pc really has never been the same . last year it featured a focus on the pga mode , which the consoles lacked . likewise , the gameplay mechanics have always differed . but this year its similarity to the console version is as close as it has ever been . it has many of the same features , the same courses and players . however , the presentation and controls make it feel like a completely different game .

tiger woods pga tour 2004 on pc is designed for the golf crowd that wants to feel the same way they do on fairways in real life ; and , if you play like any of the ign editors , this could be defined as frustrated and horrified . of course , this gives you a great reason to seek out tiger woods 2004 , where you have a much better shot at displaying any skill .

the tiger challenge , which was the core single - player experience for 2003 on consoles , has been revamped and is now in the pc version . called the would tour mode , you conquer different areas of the globe one - by - one . world tour is a really excellent mode for casual golfing . you ' re not locked into 12 months of serious gameplay where a few losses will damage your whole career . while it doesn ' t seem like a good fit with the simulation style of the pc , it actually works nicely as an arcade style mode that you can jump in and out of .

however , like most of the experience in the pc version , it ' s still catered towards the hardcore userbase and features an almost rpg - like setup . before you even compete in a major tournament on a course , you must first pass through a regiment of scenarios and earn enough skill points . so , in a sense , you have to level - up your experience on the links before you take on bigger challenges . the whole career mode is designed around this concept . golf lessons are required before you even start , in fact , and to learn new skills you have to earn cash so you can buy new instruction . it is extremely unique in its setup , but developer headgate has been catering specifically to the pc crowd for years . it ' s a niche style of gameplay meant to challenge hardcore golfers and , trust us , you definitely will be . tiger 2004 is very difficult on the pc if you ' re adhering to the trueswing method .

without major graphical or gameplay changes . there are new courses ( xbox 360 / ps3 : 5 new , 16 in total - ps2 : 6 new , 18 in total ) and different licensed professional golf players to choose from ( 21 on the xbox 360 / ps3 - 23 on the ps2 / wii ) .

the xbox 360 , ps2 , ps3 and windows versions allow players to import photos to create in - game faces on the characters based on custom images , using the xbox live vision camera , playstation eyetoy , playstation eye or a webcam . further customizations include clothing , hair or eye color and more . the initial statistics can be improved by completing challenges based on power or putting precision . they can also be raised by performing well in the pga tour , taking into account skill shots and not just the overall ranking . players can unlock additional golfers and spend their winnings in the shop on new equipment .

the multiplayer ( up to 4 players ) has been expanded with gamernet , where players can create and play custom challenges with their scores posted online ( xbox 360 / ps3 / windows ) .

on the wii , players can shake the controls to taunt the opponents with 4 different moves , to throw them off . it can be used to influence air conditions , spin , or adds audio distractions . the controls are available in 3 modes : full swing ( wii remote ) , sitting swing ( new , waggle the wii remote ) or the classic controls using the nunchuck for analog play . in full swing , twisting the wii remote adds hooks and slices prior to shots . also exclusive to the wii is a miniputt mode .

organized living , formerly known as schulte corp. , is a company that manufactures storage and organization products for the home , sold through independent dealers in the united states and canada .

prior to 2007 , organized living was a specialty retail chain in the united states that sold storage solutions for home and office .

in 1985 , mark ferrel founded the company as containers unlimited , in kansas , with its first location in overland park .

in 1993 , the then-two store chain changed its name from containers and more to organized living .

by mid-1996 , the chain had three stores ( the original location plus two others in st. louis ) and next expanded by adding two stores in las vegas , in early 1997 .

as it grew , the company consciously decided to focus expansion on markets not already served by the container store , its primary competitor .

as of mid-2000 , the chain had grown to 11 stores .

the store eventually grew to 25 stores before filing for bankruptcy in 2005 , after planned financing did not come to fruition .

after private equity firm saunders karp & megrue bought a majority stake in the company , the former head of bath & body works , beth pritchard , was hired in january 2004 to grow the chain into a national presence .

pritchard also moved the company 's headquarters from lenexa , kansas , in the kansas city area , to westerville , ohio , near columbus .

pritchard was released in may 2005 during the bankruptcy proceedings .

pritchard cited changes in saunder karp 's commitment to finance growth as the cause of the collapse .

schulte corp. , one of the company 's biggest creditors , obtained rights to the organized living name in the bankruptcy proceedings , and operated urltoken as an online retailer through 2012 .

on january 1 , 2013 , schulte corp. changed its corporate name to organized living and relaunched urltoken as its new website .

farida guitars

farida guitars <EOT> lauded by critics , the award winning farida guitars are the choice of guitar by musicians the world over . best known for our acoustic guitars , we are increasingly being acclaimed for our electric guitars .

farida has proved that it can produce affordable guitars with first - rate build quality and our review model only serve to enforce this .

farida guitars is a still comparatively new brand seeking to make its mark in the highly competitive , mid - priced sector of the market .

after her performance at the jazz and blues festival in cheshire , farida approached sandi thom with a range of guitars . she liked them and , soon after , thom and farida were in discussions about a new signature acoustic .

farida may not have the recognisable logo of some of its peers . it may not have the prestigious heritage , or roll call of rock’s biggest names on its roster . but , crucially , what it does have is a desire to create some of the most well engineered , lovingly crafted and gorgeously playable guitars on the market today , no matter what the price . if you consider yourself a true player , you owe it to yourself to check one of these amazing guitars out next time you’re in dawsons . alternatively , visit the farida guitars website , check them out on facebook here or view a complete range of electric and acoustic guitars over at the dawsons website .

chosen by many well - known artists , farida guitars are played by frank turner , freddie cowan of the vaccines , steve hackett , two door cinema club’s sam halliday and james morrison , to name a few .

farida tele style guitar , candy apple red , nice instrument , a few marks , good player & sounds great . cd guitars , penge , london se20 8hw - call , message or text . 07950 943260 can post if required .

as some people already know , the good people at farida guitars have been working on a very limited signature guitar for me for a little while . well , now i have the full details before me i thought i’d share them with all of you .

by focusing on quality and craftsmanship ahead of a fancy brand name , farida has brought the world of high - spec guitars to a much wider audience . players of even the company’s entry level models are often surprised at how easy they are to play and how great they sound compared with ‘big name’ guitars at the same price . sure , the lure of owning a proper fender , gibson or martin will always be there , but for sheer playability and design farida has gradually carved itself quite a unique niche in the uk . and , as more people became aware of farida and saw for themselves the amount of guitar they’re getting for their money , the company went from strength to strength . and , as with fender and squier , and gibson and epiphone , there is also an associated farida sub - brand called marina , offering a selection of guitars priced even more competitively .

the current farida range features a wide selection of guitars – electric and acoustic – to suit every budget and every playing style . from the farida d8 - x op or marina md - 10 – reviewed favourably here by total guitar , which are both perfect for players taking their first steps onto the instrument , through to the artist designed farida jt - 60 2dcc sam halliday signature guitar , a superb electric guitar created in collaboration with sam halliday from two door cinema club .

farida actually forms part of the chinese group grand reward education and entertainment ( gree ) which has been producing guitars under licence for ‘bigger’ name manufacturers since 1995 . their factory in guang dong produces around 13 , 000 guitars a month , of which more than half end up at stores in the united states . yet with all that experience and know - how , gree wanted to show off their expertise and felt they could offer the world a slightly different product . by using their proven construction techniques and industry knowledge , gree ensured their new farida range would deliver build quality and specifications well beyond what would be expected at a particular price point .

either way , if you ' re in this market area , we strongly suggest you add a farida to your shortlist .

offering great features at an affordable price , is the cornerstone of farida ' s philosophy . the d - 12c . .

farida’s travel model , the t - 16 is also a fantastic instrument for the younger player . a small guitar . .

following in the footsteps the m - 2 , the farida m5 follows the same simple , focused design , but with . .

farida guitars are a unique thing in the world of musical instruments , having spent almost a decade going under the radar , so to speak . to use an analogy , consider the recording artist who slowly but surely builds up a dedicated fanbase without resorting to stunts or wacky marketing campaigns . you won’t see them pulling stupid poses on the front of the music mags but , over time , the quality of their work stands out and once the fans are on - board , they tend to remain loyal for years to come . dawsons has witnessed a similar process with farida ever since it started importing them in 2004 . through carefully chosen partnerships with credible musicians and a track record of producing extremely high quality instruments , the company has quietly gone about its business and built up a solid fanbase along the way . but why ? who exactly are farida guitars ?

for its standard range , farida has mostly focused its energies on the acoustic guitar world . it has produced a range of dreadnought , parlour , jumbo and classical guitars which have been well received in the uk guitar press , along with the aforementioned signature models listed above . there have also been signature electrics produced too , notably for freddie cowan of the vaccines and murph from the wombats . farida’s track record of adding unique elements to their designs continued apace ; murph’s ct20 featured an interesting pickup layout whereby the two single coil pickups were effectively designed as one humbucker , albeit with around four inches of space between them , while freddie’s gna tv guitars were designed using a classic retro body shape and no less than three humbuckers .

farida d10big brother of the d - 8 , the d - 10 has the same no - nonsense aesthetic and approach to tone . . .

it ' s not the most tonally balanced acoustic we ' ve experienced at this price , but we feel it could work in favour of the guitars in their primary on - stage role , especially if you need to be heard above other musicians .

farida ct36 custom tele with matching gig bag . high spec guitar with ebony fingerboard , mahogany body , kluson tuners & tappable humbucking pickups . superb condition . collection only . bargain .

the sf - 55ce marks a departure for the company in terms of design and carries the name of farida ' s most recent endorsee , acoustic - gone - electric gal , sandi thom .

she recently told guitarist : " oddly enough farida approached me right about the time i had just started cutting my teeth playing electrics , but i was really keen to get involved and very flattered to be deemed worthy of my own signature model " .

farida electric guitar in excellent condition and only used a few times . thia is a fantasric guitar i just dont have the time to learn to play . very reluctant sale but no point in it just being an ornament . £250 ono any offer considered . ( no swaps )

solid mahogany is used for the two - piece back and sides , though again not bookmatched . both the front and back of the guitar , as well as the mahogany - faced headstock , are finished with white binding . farida - branded tuners and a strap button complete the fitments .

another feature of gree is our fully computerized r & d department , which is able to develop new models efficiently , and help our customers keep up with rapid changes in marketing trends . on average , gree creates more than 150 models a year , including many award winning instruments . the farida d - 52 ns won the " total guitar " magazine 5 stars award in april of 2007 . the d - 62 an was awarded " 5 star guitarist choice " on " guitarist " magazine in january of 2007 , and m - 2 ns was awarded " guitarist choice " on the same magazine in november 2007 . and this year the farida j - 66 n has been awarded " 5 star best buy " in the october issue of total guitar magazine .

we can only hope so , but the result of this collaboration - the farida sf - 55ce folk - bodied cutaway - is a particularly striking guitar . constructed from a single piece of solid spruce , the guitar ' s soundboard has a laser - cut design instead of a regular soundhole . love it or hate it , you can ' t help but keep looking at it .

for this theme we decided to go with what i ' m best known for , a more realistic rendition of a monkey climbing a tree to get to the guitar in the upper branches . the entire inlay was done with different woods . the guitar in the tree is a small inlay of an actual farida dreadnought ! the guitar was first offered for sale at the shanghai music fair in 2015 , it sold the morning of the first day !

farida also asked if i would be willing to come to shanghai to represent the guitar as well as talk to their dealers and to do demonstrations at the booth . i of course more than happy to go . i do have to say that i never thought i ' d be on a stage in the middle of china cutting out inlays and having them broadcast onto a giant video monitor ! it was a great experience and i was amazed at how welcoming the chinese people are .

a couple of years ago while cruising the halls at namm drumming up new inlay customers i happened to cross paths with frank tsai and his merry band of world travelers from grand reward and entertainment . grand reward is the premier builders of musical instruments in china . i had gotten to know them because of their work with the travel guitar that i invented , voyage air . after exchanging the usual pleasantries , frank asked what i was up to and i told him i was mostly doing inlay work for other companies and , half jokingly , i told him i could do inlays for their house brand farida guitars . we of course had a good laugh about the unlikely chance a company in china would be importing inlay work from the usa . i did tell them that the only thing really in the way was that they would need to raise their prices and that since we already know the quality is there and that a guitar built in their factory was well received in the us market at nearly $ 2000 . 00 ( the voyage air vaom - 2c ) that they should be able to be the first real high - end chinese guitar company . fast forward about 2 months and i get an email from frank asking if i would be willing to work with them on a limited edition guitar that would have the theme based on the up coming symbol of the chinese zodiac . i thought that was a great idea !

its range includes ' dry ' acoustics and electros with the aim of distancing itself from the pack by offering superior workmanship at comparable price points . on test here we have a brand new model , with the aim of being an affordable , stage - ready electro .

" the sf - 55ce ' s soundboard has a laser - cut soundhole . . . love it or hate it , you can ' t help but keep looking at it . "

it comes with a fitted hard case and features the fishman presys blend pickup system , which utilises an internal mic and undersaddle pickup .

detented ) , volume , notch and mic blend , as well as push buttons for phase and the chromatic tuner . when active , the tuner mutes the output .

the brief was to create a great - sounding stage guitar , rugged enough to stand up to life on the road , with looks to make it stand out from the crowd . thom told us that she hoped building her own signature guitar would be a good way of attracting women to play .

as per sandi ' s request , the sf - 55 is a slim - bodied guitar , measuring just 82mm at its deepest . not only does this make it comfortable to play , but very light too . also the neck has been thinned to a super - slim ' c ' profile that underpins a low action .

that said , we were again impressed with the standard of finish and workmanship on offer . though lightweight , this guitar gives evidence of being ready to cope with many miles on the road .

acoustically , the sf - 55 ' s output is fairly rounded . though not boasting as much volume , the sf - 55 ticks more tonal boxes and curiously , despite its thin body , produces a likeable warmth and depth . the lack of a traditional soundhole leads to some interesting sounds further up the neck .

palm muted solos above the 12th fret take on a ' nakedness ' akin to when reverb is eliminated . but here is a guitar that ' s clearly designed for on - stage use , and in amplified mode the sf - 55 produces a full , bright output , which again has plenty of mids , but not so much that things get overly boxy or brash .

with less need to tame the midrange , the fishman ' s controls are free to offer colours and textures , however , we notice that blending in the onboard mic almost immediately induces feedback .

this aside , bearing in mind its price , the sf - 55 is a good all - round electro capable of handling a range of disciplines .

the guitar was built to my specifications , and they gave me the prototype ( pictured ) . it’s a fantastic instrument . to get technical for a moment : it has a solid engelmann spruce top and solid rosewood back and sides to give it a very loud , clear but also warm and resonant tone , with a matt finish , in a jumbo cutaway body . it has a fishman rare earth humbucker pickup fitted ( my pickup of choice ) . there will only ever be 25 of these made ( apart from my one ) , individually numbered on the headstock . they come with a fitted case and a certificate of authenticity ( signed by yours truly ) . they’ll be arriving for shipment in late may .

there are only 11 still available to buy ( the rest have been reserved ) . you can get more information and order one right here . if you’re shopping for a new guitar , check it out – i’m genuinely impressed with the one i have , and these are all the exact same instrument , not cheaper imitations . definitely worth investigating .

the dogs are made from various types of wood as well as corian and recon stone . i like using wood because it has a lot of the textures of hair plus it comes in a huge variety of colors and tones .

in 2015 we did the first of the series , the year of the monkey .

for the 2017 fair the theme was the year of the dog . i will also be attempting to do some youtube videos which is also something new for me . i tend to get locked in when i work so we will see just how successful i am and stopping to record something !

here is the inlay in progress . lots of malachite and jade recon stone as well as corian . brick are made from padouk and white veneer . the guitar back is malaysian blackwood .

for the 2016 show last october the theme was the year of the rooster . once again the choice was made to go with a realistic looking inlay design . this time wood as well as reconstituted stone was used . i believe this one sold before the show ! my kind of response time !

on a slightly separate note . . . while i was there last year we discussed doing something a little more elaborate to show the chinese market just where inlay can go when a crazy american is pushing the limits . we decided to do a scene on the back of a guitar , similar to the edo guitar . i did some searching and came up with what i think will be perfect . . . the great wall ! i may have bit off more than i can chew in less than a year ( way less now ! ) but i love a challenge . . .

here is a quick rendering of what i have in mind for the great wall . i expect i will be tired of cutting out bricks when i ' m done . . .

here is a photoshop rendering of the headstock and pickguard inlays along with the finished results .
