Here is one I completed last month.

I call it Precious Moment

It was based off of Joe Perry's white guitar. It is a solid body ES-335.

Here are the specs:

Body: 1 piece African Mahogany with Maple cap.

Neck: 4A flame Maple with flame Maple fretboard

Inlay: Tree of life - faux Turquoise for the big leafs, abalone shell for the small leafs, and Indian Rosewood for the stem. Turquoise and Abalone for my logo.

Hardware: Gotoh tuners, bridge and tailpiece.

Scale: 24 3/4

Pickups: EMG 81/85, standard vol and tone with 3 way switch.

Paint: I did the base white and clear in 2k urethane, but the airbrushing was done by Mad Momma Designs out of Pittsburgh. The neck was finished with TruOil and waxed.

Sorry I don't have a full guitar picture, my photographer hasn't sent me one yet.

Victorian Muleskinner

DSCN2660.JPG

This ended up being sort of a cowboy steampunk kinda thing.

The top is a piece of beech barn siding, sanded down just past the grey weathering.

The back is yellow poplar, and chambered so there is open space behind the knot hole.

Neck is black walnut and beech, with a persimmon fretboard.

Bridge pickup is Motor City Afwayu, with an Amalfitano tele neck pickup. An unlikely combination for sure, but was specifically requested by the customer who likes to be able to go from High gain crunch to super clean prettiness.

This definitely does that, but apparently requires some fancy footwork.

The bridge is a basic hardtail affair I made from brass with compensated tele saddles, and covered with an antique cast iron drawer pull.

The control plate is also victorian era, a copper plated doorknob backplate.

Very simple controls, which gave me a chance to use this big old cool knob which I only had one of, and is almost doorknob size.

Pickguard is rusted roof tin laminated to bakelite sheet.
