Back in the shop yesterday and finally built the little fret bender that has been on my to-do list for about a year. Total material cost less than $1.00. It's simpler than other benders I have seen, but still works fine. I will post a materials list and schematic shortly.

the modern sound has been asleep, but we're awake now! ( well kinda) check back for some new projects. In the mean time listen to the moz.

modernsound.etsy.com is up and running! check out the new prints and other gear!

Found this one via fastcompany. An interesting and sleek take on a travel guitar by Blackbird Guitars in San Francisco. I like the asymetric placement of the sound hole, with controls hidden in the cavity, very clean.

The finished product is pretty nice, with a little bit of unintentional distressing due to over sanding
