  • I am not quite sure how measure. I would say around 20" at the withers, but he is much bigger than any of the other dogs from his litter.

    I have had full sized Aussies before as well. Imagine taking that energy and compressing it to a singularity that is always ready to explode. That is Rufus and I wouldn’t trade him for the world.





  • The pickups are Lace Alumitones. They are ultra-quiet and articulate pickups and have no wire coils. The polished aluminum bar that you see is the conductor of the electromagnet. I also wired a ghost pickup system into the bridge.

    I cut the pickup rings out of sheets of copper and melted silver dust into them. This gives a discoloration from the heat and splashes of silver on the copper substrate. I have been silversmithing for a few decades, but woodworking is always a challenge for me. When you mess up, you can’t just melt it down and start over.
