I wanted to share this custom build - and the story with you guys.

I was approached by a father and his young son a few weeks back. The son has worked hard learning guitar and has even formed a band with his buddies. He wanted a new guitar, but wasn’t finding what he wanted in the stores, so they set out to design their very own. After 14 variants, I was presented with a full scale drawing and a build sheet. I set out to bring the drawing to life. This is my progress. You can’t see it in the pic, but the entire guitar top is carved.

This is definitely a very rewarding project, one I am very proud to build. This boy is going to have a very one of a kind guitar; what a way to encourage him to keep going with his music!

And a few other projects on the go, at various stages of completion.... plus another 3 or 4 more in the house....

That is unique. I like it.

Its got the horns of an ibanez SA with the bridge end of an ESP viper. I wonder how it will balance.

A very cool build indeed!

LOL!! I figured as such. Lacquer is all layed down and its been curing for a few days now. Won't be long - might be able to buff it out next weekend. I'll send over a pic.

This is one I've been building as a thread for a Facebook group. Granted, its been back-burnered twice as I've finished up paying jobs. It will be fore sale once finished.

 

[laristotle]

It will be fore sale once finished.

I'll be keeping my eyes open for it.

Do/would you make basses?

Also curious.

 

[Ayr Guitars]

Basses.... they're on the radar; I just haven't gotten around to doing one yet. (yet being the operative word there).
