Custom Inlays from Parable Guitars
Mike recently painted a guitar for Matt, and soon after he received it, he decided he wanted Mike to paint another. After looking around for the guitar he wanted to buy, he decided that he may as well get one custom-built to his specs. Mike and Matt have been discussing all the finer details for about a week, and they now have a completed spec. The build is on!!
Mike will be building an Icon model with an alder body, flame maple neck and a zombie theme finish.
Stage One:
Spec Sheet * Assorted wood * Neck glue up * Body glue up
Stay Tuned!!

Floyd Upgrades are an available option on any Learn Guitar!!
Trixter and Dokken are in town to do a local show tonight. Since Steve Brown from Trixter is one of Mike’s main endorsers of his guitars, he spent the afternoon at the shop trying out the newest guitars and planning for his next Learn Guitar custom.
After that, they took off to hook up with the rest of the band and Don Dokken and Mick Brown.
Tonight Trixter, Dokken and Citizen Pain are all playing out. Should be a pretty fun night. Trixter and Dokken are playing at a bar just down from the street where Citizen Pain is. I am pretty sure there will be some guest appearances on stage tonight. Hopefully I will have a colorful report to post tomorrow.
Well, the first in the series is complete and had its test run on stage last night! Mike says that it feels a lot like his old Les Paul and shreds!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here are the SPECS:
You asked for it, and now you got it! Mike is offering a 5-day, action-packed, non-stop, wood-working extravaganza here at his Colorado Studio! During this course you will build your own dream electric guitar!
The class project will be a solid body with bolt on neck, however throughout the week Mike will demo dozens of different techniques and construction options. You can choose to build one of Mike’s standard models (Rock Caster, ICON or Flak Jacket) OR design your own body, headstock and truss rod cover! If you choose to design your own, you will need to have a good idea of what shape you want when you come to class, and the design will be subject to approval to ensure that your instrument will be properly balanced with good sound. You will also learn to route your guitar to hold the hardware and pick up(s) configuration of your choice.
You will learn:
We will supply all materials to build the body, neck and fingerboards including fret wire and truss rods. You will need to provide your bridge, pickup(s), hardware, tuners and strings.
Make Your Own Electric Guitar in a class with Mike!!
Due to the time frame, we will not be able to complete a custom paint job on the guitar. You can choose a natural wood finish, or go home with a guitar primed and ready for paint.
Dates: Wednesday April 8 – Sunday April 12
Time: 9 – 6 PM daily
Location: Mike’s studio in Boulder County CO
Seats in this class are VERY limited. The cost of the course is $1200. If you are ready to reserve a seat, or if you have any further questions, please contact me.
