John gets weird and wonderful with the MGS2

I am partial to mad sounds, and when it's paired with incredible playing then it's so much fun to listen to. This video from John Cordy with our Millimetric MGS2 put a huge grin on my face. Awesome sounds! Thanks, John!

Guitar Magazine video demo of our Millimetric Instruments MGS2!

This was a very pleasant surprise, as I didn't realise it had been released! Sam at Guitar Magazine put together this beautiful video showing our demo model, Millimetric MGS2. I personally feel it's a great complimentary video to our existing simple clean tone videos, as this demo shows it through a variety of effects and a lovely mix of open chords and playing. Hearing a guitar in a variety of ways can be really helpful, and this video fits in so nicely with what videos I have already made of the guitar, along with what videos I still have planned with it (lots of different drives!).
Really enjoyed the video, and a genuine surprise to see it as I wasn't aware it had been released so totally passed me by! Doh!

Tom Sands interviews Florian from Millimetric!

This was a great interview and chat about Florian's recent 'Sonore Festival' guitar show in Montreal, but also a fantastic insight into the guitars, his methods and history. If you're interested in learning more about Millimetric Instruments, Tom Sands has created a fantastic insight here and I'm sure you'll enjoy watching!

2018 Millimetric Instruments MG6 for sale!

Angus reached out to me regarding his beautiful MG6 model, as he has decided to find a new home for it. I really wanted to take it off his hands personally, but not being in the position to currently I offered to help in some way and write this article here on the blog for Millimetric fans and visitors of my website to see in case it might find a happy home with them instead. Angus has decided to sell as the neck width hasn't quite been finding itself comfortable which of course is a personal preference thing, and hopefully the new owner will bond with that in that he wasn't able to. Checking out the specs, it is the same profile, and neck measurements as my personal MGS3 so if anyone isn't local to Angus and wants to get a similar feel for what it would be like feel free to drop me a message, I'll be happy to help.

#MGS3Build Update - NGD! Box opening of my Millimetric Instruments MSG3!

Huge day for me! After patiently waiting for my turn on the build list until this point today, it's been an awesome experience topped off with the guitar arriving safely today. I thought it would be apt to film the un-boxing of this really special moment (for me anyway!) and you can watch the video below!

Here's some quick photos taken today, needless to say more will follow and some sound clips when I can too. Thanks again to Florian for doing an incredible job with my order, the guitar has far surpassed my hopes and really looking forward to getting used to it and playing for many years to come!

#MGS3Build - Complete!

Seeing the colour come to life on my previous #MGS3Build update certainly made the build feel real, but not only that, I knew it wouldn't be long at all before I saw it all in one piece. The photo I shared on that previous article wasn't the best representation of the true colour, apologies there, but hopefully these images will give you a better idea of the colour and thoughts behind choosing it.

#MGS3Build - PAINT!

Last week was crammed full of seriously exciting updates from Montreal, safe to say the build is feeling very real now! I was able to see my idea for colour/finish come to life and it didn't disappoint, in fact it exceeded my expectations really!

Millimetric Instruments MGS2 Spec rundown video!

For those of you that enjoy videos over written articles, I've made this humble video talking through some of the finer spec details of our UK demonstration Millimetric Instruments MGS2. This is not a demo as such, but you can hear the guitar in the background music throughout. 'Tone' Demo videos with much better guitar players than me will follow, where I plan to feature a variety of playing/music styles and sounds available from the guitar. For now, this video is simply to go through the specifications of this build, from body materials & finish, to fret wire, pickups and strap buttons. Yup, you get it all! But if anything is unclear or you'd like further info, do please contact me directly via my website or with Millimetric Instruments directly.

#MGS3Build - It's almost a guitar, right?!

Well this is getting so exciting for me and it's beginning to sink in what is happening! The last #mgs3build update finished by showing the chunk of walnut which will become the neck. Well Florian has been super busy the last few days roughing out the neck shape, profile, headstock and heel etc which you soon realise is quite the task with the quality of work he displays.
