Griffintone ASCII Video from Griffintone on Vimeo. A good friend had an idea for a video to promote the Griffintone Thumper acoustic stompbox that we're getting ready to start making. It was inspired by ASCII art, 1940s Pin-up Girls, and the intro music to 2001: A Space Odyssey, "Also Sprach Zarathustra", by Richard Strauss. Since I was already working on cutting together the video for the

Just got everything set up to automatically syndicate all the news posts I place on Griffintone.com to the Griffintone Twitter feed and Facebook page. If I set everything up correctly, as soon as I publish this post, it should show up on both pages shortly afterward. My hope is that setting up the automatic syndication will allow more people to hear about how progress is going and make it

After nearly 2 years in development, progress is finally underway on getting the prototype of the Griffintone Thumper ready for production. Each unit will be constructed out of hand-selected, locally harvested White Ash and Black Walnut tonewoods. For the electronics, we're using American-made Switchcraft 1/4" jacks and an immensely powerful pickup to allow you to connect the unit to your amp,

Just got done setting up a store on Printfection.com to sell Griffintone t-shirts and stuff. Right now the store is pretty simple looking and hasn't been polished up to look real nice, but we're working on it. The plan is to eventually sell screen-printed shirts and hats and stuff right here on www.griffintone.com, but for the time being, we're trying out Printfection to see how it goes. For

Starting as far back as the 1920s, blues singers would stomp their feet on porch boards to add rhythm to their playing while they sang about hard times and triflin' women. As time went on, many of them replaced the porch boards with a drum kit, but the desire to tap their foot while they played remained.

The basic foundation has finally been laid down for www.Griffintone.com Right now there are a few pages missing and a couple of links that don't go anywhere. However, we are still putting the rest of the pieces together. Over the next few weeks, more and more content will be added as the site works its way toward "completion". Stay tuned.
