Hello I have been building guitars and basses since I was around 16 and about 6 months ago quit my job and started building full time. I thought I would share some of my work with everyone here. Let me know what you think.
Right now just word of mouth. I spend lots of time going to shows and meeting musicians. Which is part of why I haven't been playing dod lately. I also document a lot of the builds on Talkbass.com in the Luthiers Corner. Webpage will be up at zoovguitars.com in a few days. They go for between $2,000 and $5,000 normally. If someone from the dod community wanted one I would give a discount. Unless you play for flawless then its double.
I use all sorts of different stuff the last one is Bocote wings with a curly maple center piece, bloodwood stripes and ebony fingerboard. First one has 13 different types I wont list them all. Second one is Cherry neck through with african mahogany wings quartersawn maple fingerboard. Third one is redheart wings, wenge eyes on the edges, cocobolo center, ebony fretboard, and some maple purpleheart and padauk stripes. Fourth one is Zebrawood and maple sandwiched for the wings and a tigerwood neck through with a quartersawn maple fingerboard.
The guitars look amazing, however your logo ( I'm assuming that's your logo ) looks pretty bad. The letters look pixelated and the morse code underneath I'm not a fan of. Obviously though, the guitars are much more important and you've got that on lock. Just my two cents.
It took me forever to come up with a name for these things and for a long time I thought about just signing them. Might be worth reworking the logo I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for the love.... zoov zaav who gives a shit

But if you're somewhat established, you might want to hold onto the name. If someone refers you that you've sold one to and they tell the person its this "brand", how do they find you when you name change? What is the meaning behind the name if there is one?
