In spite of Jaden Rose not being able to make it this year, which was a damn shame, I hung out with my friends and went around testing things, giving the new Blackat a good whipping, and enjoying some fantastic kit. Here’s a couple videos from this year’s Musikmesse - hope you enjoy them!

Atonement tees will be done and ready to distribute in about 2 weeks, meaning I can send them out around the time I get back from the Musikmesse - here’s hoping no more hiccups appear.

The whole process, from the botched attempt to the only company that would give me a reasonable delivery schedule without pathetic limitations (even tee colour was an issue for some. A black tee, no less), with VAT changes and posting, actually implied that each tee cost me around 18 EUR and some change, thus rendering all sales an actual profit of MINUS 9 EUR to me per unit. If this is not committing to fans, I don’t know what is, really.

I hope you’ll enjoy them when you get them.

Some people have noticed my love for teles and singlecuts wasn’t meant to be, as there isn’t exactly an abundance of 7 and 8-string high quality guitars using these shapes as templates, so while I managed to get absolutely fantastic superstrats (as my Jaden Rose, Blackmachine, etc., show), high quality singlecuts seemed an impossibility to get without built-from-scratch custom orders.

This year, things did change! I got myself the fantastic Decibel AMX and an ESP T7, and that left only an 8-string super-tele to go. Until I met Tomek from Blackat guitars, and here she is:

Here’s a video from a song in progress called Roland’s Last Stand, which will be featured on my second album (still untitled as of yet):
