What's New at Martin Keith Guitars New "In Stock" page on Martinkeithguitars.com! Posted: July 29, 2010
I'm happy to announce a new addition to the website!
The new "In Stock" link in the upper navigation bar leads to a brand-new page, which shows current inventory of Martin Keith basses that are available immediately.
Some basses are in-stock here in the shop, and have retail prices listed. Other instruments can be seen and tried at some of my dealers' stores around the country. Those instruments have links to the store where they're located.
This new page lets everyone know about basses that are ready to go, and available with no lead time.
Check it out sometime! http://www.martinkeithguitars.com/listing/available.php
Thanks, Martin A closer look at one of my favorite details... Posted: April 26, 2010
The current group of basses is almost ready for paint! One of them is a Sylph 4-string...this will be the 4th bass in this style for Sleek Elite in Japan.
This bass features one of my personal favorites, the bi-color or "two-tone" Katalox fingerboard. The contrast between heartwood and sapwood is a very dramatic look.
As an added bonus - since this bass is fretless, we get to inlay contrasting color 2-tone fretlines!
Here's a quick before-and-after... You can also see the "Deco" side-dot markers in the finished bass:
(Now if only I could get two-tone frets....)
Sleek Elite's new bass will be finished soon, along with a beautiful Elfin 5-string that's going to France. It's a very international Spring! Away for 2 weeks...and a first look at something new! Posted: February 21, 2010
Spring is coming! I will be away from the computer until March 6th - please don't worry if I can't respond to your email until then...
In the meantime, here's a teaser of this Spring's newest project:
The first revision of the Acoustic bass is taking shape. I will be running full-steam on this in the month of March! A 4-string and a 5-string will be made together. The goal?...a bass that, well...actually sounds like a bass!
We can also expect a major facelift on the website in the coming month, including a lot more pictures of recent instruments and a much more fully-featured Gallery section.
Stay tuned! A nice picture from this summer... Posted: October 8, 2009 This August, the crew of Woodstock-area bass builders was lucky enough to get a visit from Joe Perry and Jonathan Herrera, who are (respectively) the publisher and editor of Bass Player magazine. After a whirlwind day of shop visits, we all spent a couple of very pleasant hours at dinner at Woodstock's Bear Cafe.  From left: Joe Veillette, Jonathan Herrera, Harvey Citron, Yours Truly, Stuart Spector, and Mike Tobias. Our very kind host Joe Perry is behind the camera. Thanks guys!
Away for a bit...and the new model! Posted: September 16, 2009 I will be away from the shop until September 27th. Just to let you all know - I may not respond to any emails until after then. Until then, here's a long-overdue first look at the latest model. The Leo
Available in 4- or 5-strings, with many different pickup and control combinations. Of course, any color. "Studio" shots coming soon!
Some new things in the works... Posted: May 7, 2009 Well, it's been a long time since the last update. What's my excuse? Well, I've been busy....:
For starters, a 'classic' J-styled Elfin bass, model name to-be-determined. There are two of these in progress, and they look and feel great! This one will be tobacco burst with a tortoise guard. The other one will be some solid color (undecided) with a black pearloid guard. These is not the only new things happening around here. I promise more updates soon as the other instruments get more photo-ready. Happy Spring! -Martin
