Blue Note Woodworks

For over the last 30 years Blue Note Woodworks has been mainly a guitar repair shop, with a few custom builds being done from time to time. Then early in 2011, Luthier/Owner Rob Cusumano started working on an idea of a small thin body semi-acoustic/electric bass that would produce a sound that would rival the sound of the big upright bass.

With his years of experience in building and R&D, the concept became a working reality that produced a prototype that was stunning everyone that heard or played it! An incredible small package, with an incredible Big Sound. Hence the birth of the Acousta-Electra Bassic Bass. From there, in the summer of 2012 Rob's son, Seth, had an idea of building a guitar (similar in design to the Bassic Bass) but switchable from an acoustic sounding guitar to a full blown electric guitar. It was then, about 7 months later, the Acousta-Electra Hybrid Crossover Stereo Guitar was born.
