A WWII Themed Esquire with a shot of testosterone. This WWII inspired Esquire is outfitted with 2 bullets (they’re dummy shells silly) in the chamber and 2 on the horn. This beast is outfitted with a Seymour Duncan lil’ 59 in the bridge and is wired to a 3 way switch for versatility. Position 1 bypasses the tone control, position 2 includes the tone control and watch out…in position 3 you have the “cocked wah” sound. Santana anyone? This guitar is outfitted with a super fast maple neck finished in tinted Danish oil. This tone monster can definitely take flight weighing in just under 7 lbs. Want a guitar like this? Contact me.

Stay tuned for a special photo shoot with BC Audio’s Amplifier No. 7

I was commissioned to do the finishing work on a couple of bodies for a customer in Singapore. They wanted a natural looking double bound body ala Albert King and an olympic white Strat body. I sprayed them with nitro and aged them per the customer’s specs. If you are looking for a custom body or a custom finish contact me.

Well, I got an exciting email from guitar extraordinaire Jon Butcher wanting to know if I would do some work on one of his guitars. Since I had been a fan of his from the “If Wishes Were Horses” days, I clamored at the opportunity to do some work for Jon. He sent me a “newer” 2 Tone Strat that he wanted meticulously aged to mimic the look and feel of a 57′ Strat. After much work and experimentation fussing with the factory poly finish, I was able to yield some results Jon loved. Be sure to check him out online www.jonbutcher.com and check out his current project Farren Butcher Incorporated (FBI)

I decided to take some down time I had and build myself a tele. I used the guitar as a guinea pig to try my hand at some faux binding, aged tung oil finished neck, and a Strat styled hardtail bridge. What you have is my personal little Hot Rod Tele. I use it for everything, my Gretsch and my Paul Reed Smith have picked up a new hobby which is dust collecting. If your other guitars are looking for a hobby, contact me, I’ll build you your new number one and your guitars can collect dust too

Mark Goodman of Teazer fame and of the Southern Ohio Guitar Show wanted his lefty Esquire to be given the relic treatment by yours truly. Mark is a top notch guitarist and collector and knows what he wants. Therefore the pressure was on. I am proud to report he was quite pleased with finish work. A super cool guitar for a super cool guy.
