Coupeville
Coupeville is the line of instruments I build by hand — the same voices I designed for the platform, made one at a time.
The Coupeville line
Coupeville is the name I give to the instruments I build myself. The line takes its name from the small-town community that inspired it, and each instrument carries that community's spirit along with my own workmanship. Where the platform's voices usually reach players as models to print and wire themselves, a Coupeville is the version I complete by hand and put in your hands finished.
Coupeville and Relay
Coupeville and Relay are siblings. They share a parentage: the same family of voices I designed. Relay is the free, self-print platform — you download the models, print the body, and build the guitar yourself. Coupeville is the built line — I make the instrument for you. Two ways to arrive at the same voices, not one derived from the other. The control schemes differ between the lines, but the voice each model is built around does not.
The models
Each model is a distinct voice in the line. Pick the one that fits how you play.

When an instrument is ready for a new owner, it's listed under Coupeville instruments. If nothing is listed there right now, or you want a specific voice built for you, reach out and I'll build one to order.
