PRESS RELEASE
Schroeder Custom Guitars Accepting Custom Orders Again as of June 1, 2008
May 15, 2008
Advertisement After a five-month order freeze, Schroeder Guitars will begin accepting new custom orders again, as of June 1, 2008. From the very start of Schroeder Guitars in the mid-90s, Jason Z. Schroeder's motto has been "You dream it, I'll build it." According to Jason, "I love building guitars. But more importantly I love working through technical issues and helping guys realize their dream guitar." "Ultimately, it is all about the neck. If a guy loves his neck carve, he will love his guitar. That is why I spend so much time getting the neck carve just right." From Louisville Slugger chunky to a 1960 slim carve to a soft V, Schroeder will work with the client to get the neck carve right. He often has clients ship their favorite guitar to him so he can duplicate the neck carve. Schroeder currently offers four body styles: The Traditional Singlecut, the Doublecut, the Shorty, and the Chopper. These are offered in variety of scale lengths, fretboard radii, and neck carves. Still built "the old fashioned way," Schroeder has resisted the temptation to build with CNCs because of the variation in the guitars he builds for his clients. "It is so easy to make small changes to my designs to accommodate a player's needs when I build by hand. I am also able to offer many options that other small builder's don't because there is no hassle with having to program a CNC to make design changes. I simply pencil it out and make the change." Some of these changes to designs include a 7-string baritone, 6/12 doublenecks, altered control layouts, slightly smaller or larger body to adjust weight and improve ergonomics for a particular player. This is all in a day's work for Schroeder Guitars. "Essentially, I build prototypes. Every guitar is different. That keeps me on my toes, keeps me growing as a builder, and ultimately makes my job more fun." Schroeder Guitars only uses the best materials available to build his guitars. With a large selection of quilted and flamed maple tops, Honduran mahogany and Black Limba backs, Brazilian rosewood fingerboards, stainless steel frets, high-end electronics and hardware, no expense is spared in the creation of a Schroeder Guitar.
