Last year i heard a rumor that there was some guy who made guitars and bases, but until last friday i started to believe, the guy is a luthier that mades guitars and bases by hand!!! a hand made guitar or bass its truly a craftmanship effort.
Here is the link, check it out and feel free to give some feedback about it.

There are some interesting points and issues that dont quite fit in my head, but it could be true.

I find this kinda wierd, "These bridge pieces never need to be adjusted again. they are built at their exact tonal positions and the instrument will stay on-tune and on perfect intonation permanently.". What if you change string gauge or tuning? Is this some magically universal bridge setting that makes all tuning's and string gauges perfectly intonated?

and for the record, yesterday i went to visit him and i asked him why he didnt use a truss rod on his necks, he told me that the wood he uses was as hard as a rock and that they didnt bend... as he was explaining me that he grab a bass guitar and he put it on the floor, then he searched for a wooden block and put it below the headstock then he stood and kind of jumped on the neck, a few times and the wood didnt even get a scratch... nor bowed... tha is amazing...
