A Batch of Cool Guitars…

The Godzilla Guitar is just plain fun.  Who doesn’t love a Super-sized Lizard bringing havoc to all it sees?  The Blue and white bass was painted for Rick Savage of Def Leppard.  He is on a special charity tour and at some point this bass will be given away to one lucky person.  The last guitar is a complete restoration of a prototype Jackson model – #1.  I just love the Hot Rod flames and stripes on this one!

Dave Got His Steampunk…

… and HE LOVES IT!!  Finally, after being forced to wait longer than expected for a custom case – Dave McCarthy’s Steampunk 7-String Flak Jacket is safely in his hands.

Not necessarily an action shot, but the first in its new home.  I’m loving it.  The neck feels great and very comfortable.  And through my rig, that neck pickup really sings.  You hit a homerun on this one.  All the work you put into it is really appreciated.

We are SO happy that you are enjoying your new instrument!
