I'm not thrilled with certain aspects of it, but mostly that's a taste thing. Overall I'd say "welcome to the 21st century" in terms of web design. Seriously. Didn't your last site practically use the "blink" tag?

Heh. No blink tags, but I see what you mean. I did the old site myself on dreamweaver and had absolutely no idea what I was doing. It was past due for a pro upgrade. At least it was functional.

| Looks great, though I clicked on an "Instruments" tag somewhere and got taken to the old jello-green page. |

The old one must be in your cache. Click refresh and you should get the new one.

Nope. Going from the Bio page - there was one that gave a full path and that got me to the old page, and there was another that tried to go to "instruments2" which gave a web host page.
EDIT: Aha! links that go to just "instruments" get the old page. The ones with "instruments.html" get the new page. |

| Its simple and straightforward, which in my opinion is preferable in most cases. Following basic design principles...no more than 3 clicks to find what you're looking for, shouldn't have to scroll excessively, and for the love of god, flash is not cool anymore. |

You're right. I'll let Jesse know, if he hasn't seen this already. Thanks.

Bio is incomplete... wasn't Paul involved with a notorious, underground messageboard?

It performs its function, but the colour scheme isn't very "musical". Looks a bit like a template.

Would love to see pictures of the hex pickups on the front page of that section, as well as pictures of the breakout boxes and stuff, too.

Working on that. The old site had pics, but some of them are obsolete as the look of the pickups changed, and some of the pics weren't that good or were unnecessary-- pics for custom orders, stuff like that. I uploaded a folder of pics earlier today for Jesse to add, that will open into new windows when you click the name of the product. I suppose they should be directly in the site also, but I think I need better quality pics.
Here are the pics... what do you suggest? (That question is for everyone.)

You'd be better off with your pictures to have the captions be actual HTML text on the page, rather than as image text in the image. You're losing out on a lot of keyword potential there for google to grab onto.

Reading the first paragraph, my thought is "These could be interesting. Are they really strange looking? Will they even fit in my guitar?"
Having to click to the second page, and then scroll way down to see them means a lot of people will never be curious enough to actually get there.

Make your value proposition above the fold, then let them scroll or click to fill in the details.
