This Blue Denim Bombshell is the beginning of things to come. Featuring a handcrafted Sugar Pine body and a bookmatched flame maple top, this “hybrid also features a flamey Strat style neck to round out her looks. The pickups are the Gretsch HS filtertrons that translate tonal clarity. The Intonatable Pigtail Wraparound Bridge keeps her well in tune. This is an experimental guitar, best suited for an experimental player. Look for more Flamed Top masterpieces to begin coming out of the shop. If you custom order one, then you can ensure that it will be to your spec. Become one with your guitar…you know you are a conduit of creativity ;-)

Lee in Florida recently purchased this guitar to better express his musical self.

Stratosonic Build is Out of This World

This little beauty was a project I did for for Bob A. He ordered the body and neck from USA Custom Guitars. When complete USACG shipped me the goods unfinished and I applied the nitro and put her together. The Wolftone P90s put out some serious bark too! My shop is constantly evolving, I can do the paint and build your body and neck and parts or I can cut your body in house. Feel free to contact me for a quote on your next project.

Jon Ross Aldridge’s Custom Tele Deluxe Filtertron Style

When Jon Ross Aldridge from Church of the Highlands in Birmingham, Alabama was seeking a custom guitar to lead worship with, he called me. He knew he wanted Tele styling wth some Gretsch mojo. The result was this Custom Tele Deluxe I built for him. Outfitted with Gretsch HS Filtertron pickups and wired like a Silver Falcon with a Master Volume and Tone controls, Jon Ross is able to resource a variety of tones across the sonic spectrum. As many worship guitarists are beginning to find out, a Danny Hines Guitar allows them to become one with their instrument and play to their potential ;-)

Hole In One! F-Hole Telemaster

When D.K. commissioned me to begin work on his dream guitar. The ideas that needed to be fused together included a Bigsby, an F-hole and custom wound Klein pickups. The end result was this beauty aged to replicate an instrument that may have been birthed during the golden age of bolt-on guitars. The toneful shimmer is addictive as is its looks!

 

 

Sporting a One Piece with a Bigsby

This Tele is oozing tone from the one piece swamp ash body and SD mini humbucker. Finished in clear nitro to expose this Tele’s inner beauty, the look would not be complete without a B5 Bigsby Trem Kit. If you like natural beauty, vintage tone, and Bigsbys then this is the look for you. Contact me today for a looker like this since this one is en route to a guitar brother in Israel. Depending on pickup and neck options, you can get into a sweet ride like this starting at $1450. Holler at me.

Route 66 Tele Relic


When Boris Garcia‘s Bob Stirner sought out to put together a 66 Tele Relic, he contact me to provide a authentic looking Tele body that was full of mojo and vintage vibe. Bob made the right choice, now it’s your turn ;-)

Downhome – Butterscotch La Cabronita Tele

Huge tone and fast neck! That’s how I describe this custom guitar built for Kyle C.  in Alabama. Kyle will be using this guitar to support his group’s newly recorded album. The TV Jones Powertron pickups offer an array of tonal options and will drive a nice tube amp into sonic bliss. The neck has a fast relic’d nitro finish and replicates the feel and deep contours of a 52′ Tele. They say pictures are worth a thousand words and with these photos, I think I’ve said enough ;-)

Looking for a custom guitar that will get the job done on stage or in the studio, contact me for a FREE quote.

Cheers!

Telemaster of Disaster!

Just finished this Telemaster in the shop. It has HUGE tone thanks to the Klein Pickups. A FATMAN in the bridge for P90-like girth and a Limited in the neck for strat like tones that are reminiscent of Hendrix. A push/pull pot to coax some “cocked wah” tones out of it and you cover the tonal spectrum. A closet classic nitro finish with weather checking  over a swamp ash body keep her sexy. Be the cool kid on the block and get yours today! This one is still up for grabs. Email me.

This custom gold Strat was built for Scott E. in Illinois for some rugged and flashy blues licks. He is currently in the studio now. This guitar features a swamp ash body cut to 57′ specs, a one piece maple neck with a soft V profile, a hardtail bridge, finished in 100% nitro with a Goldtop colored finish. The finish checking really sets off the guitar and its closet classic vibe. If you’re lusting after a dream guitar like this, contact me. I can help you make it happen.
