This guitar was built to be auctioned off next month at a silent auction for my company’s charitable foundation at our internal conference in early December.

i can’t take credit for the illustration, i collaborated with a colleague who’s an incredible illustrator and he drew this specifically for this guitar.

working on editing the "demo" video with my buddy Charlie shredding the fuck out of it.

Freaking awesome. What’s the rocker switch above the pickup selector for?

Very cool. Looks like a good guitar for the band Alestorm ("pirate metal"). Hope it pulls in a good sum for the foundation.

it's a coil splitter. it lets you switch the bridge pickup from double coil to single coil.
