This is the latest guitar I have made. It's a one piece English cherry body, with a two piece (scarf jointed) neck. It has a short scale length of 24" and has 15 frets. The fingerboard is Rio Rosewood (yummy) with abalone dot inlays and bound with Purple Heart wood. It has a single Humbucker pickup at around the area of where the 20th fret would be, so you get a VERY rich and warm sound (imagine a neck pickup in heat!)it has a volume and tone control, so you can back off on the tone to get a nicer rhythm sound and on 10 for a smooth harmonically rich lead tone, perfect for legato phrases!
Ok...on to the artwork!!! The frame is glued to the body and by sliding away the Perspex cover you can access the control and pickup cavities. On top of the body and under the Perspex is the painting (print) of Hieronymus Boschs "The Garden of Earthly Delights" This painting is what gives the guitar is unorthodox yet undeniably unique appearance.
Hope you enjoy!

  • can you please send me a message on how to build a guitar out of a painting?... including the type of glue and stuff like that, also if it is possible to add a floyd rose tremolo system

  • Hi, its not actually a painting. Its a piece off solid cherry with a frame mounted around it and the painting under the frame/on top of the body. if the body is thick enough, you can easily add a floyd rose, but i made this guitar thin, so that i can keep the overall wieght down. for more info, please contact me at...

see all
