Description
here's the latest piece i finished, number 30. it's a solid flame mahogany body strat w/a flame mahogany neck, and an ebony fretboard w/ a dragon inlay. it's the first piece i've completed that is a collaboration w/my good friend Jerry Kaisersmyth. he's the one responsible for the fretboard and the rad gvk pickguard. the body is extra thick as i wanted to push myself on depth, so i had to dish out the back for weight. it's still a pretty heavy strat, and has humongous tone. for some reason, i was obsessed w/3's on this piece, so there are a lot of things in groups of three(3 layers throughout the carving etc.).jerry and i will be collaborating more in the near future, so stay tuned.
hope you guys like it

My husband is a Guitarist and he would love to know if you have ever designed a V he is a big fan of the body.

Amazing work, but I'm curious as to why the headstock is so plain.

Please forgive my comment on the pic of the base. Upon viewing the whole guitar, it;s perfect. You do amazing work.

absolutely no apology necessary! you have every right to make criticisms thank you for both the kind words here and the input there. sometimes input and criticism helps me improve a piece or my art in general. sometimes, i have to let it roll off. actually a few people wanted the rest of that guitar to be crazier as far as hardware and the pickguard were concerned haha. i went with very traditional stuff (plain white knobs etc) cause i wanted to keep a strat feel and the rest of the guitar was so over the top haha
thanks again for the kind words, and the input

Seriously, you do beautiful work. Were I a musician, or even vaguely talented, I'd ask for a bid on doing a custom piece. It's fantastic that you do what you do. I think there's room for much in the custom market. Keep up the good work.

Wow, I was already stunned by the other picture, and then I saw this one. I'm in complete awe... And I'm sure this works, right? I mean, it must be hard to bring all those details while making sure that it doesn't affect the sound and the quality of the guitar. I really don't know what to say. So beautiful. The dragon was a very good touch. I like how it's peeking from those strings and it's like you're making sure that every part of the guitar is a masterpiece. Okay, I'm rambling. I'm gonna go and hug my own guitar now.
