I've never seen an SD. I really don't know much them. Where are they made ?

My bad. Looks alike an S10.. not sure if he owns it. Looks like a cool guitar. I tried to buy one for years and finally gave up.

That was a S10 with a small detachable pad under his right wrist. He sold that guitar a while ago.
There are a few SD10 Infinitys out there...not sure how many. You could always ask Frank.

I asked Frank Carter last year how many guitars he's made in his career and he said "about 40", so there's a data point.

I asked him last week when I ordered some parts for the blue one above and he told me he didn't build many SD10 guitars, but he couldn't really give a specific number. The blue one above was ordered in 2013 and delivered to the original owner at the Dallas show in 2014. The original owner told me it was the first single 10 built.

I often wished I had gotten an S10 or SD10 Infinity, but I'm using my COVID time to finally learn some C6 so maybe it's all for the best. Since I have no plans of working anytime soon I feel it's safe to finally dig into the "Two Weeks Notice" neck!

I've heard many PSG makers lament the fact they had to build the oddball (not D10s) guitar. End plates/axels/bodies are all different increasing jigging/templates etc. The lower demand for such meant you wouldn't produce in large quantity driving up the price too.

He told me he built around 80 to 90 total.
