My inspiration comes from the iconic superstrats of the 1980s. Over the years, I’ve tried numerous brands and styles, but each left me wanting something more. This desire to perfect the guitar experience led me to craft instruments with the features I always wished existed.
I use only the highest quality components, such as German-made Floyd Rose tremolos, and explore unique woods like solid purpleheart or wenge necks, including the fretboard. My designs feature fretboards without front-facing dots, prioritizing sleek aesthetics and deep neck access. I contour my guitars heavily and incorporate ferrules instead of metal plates for reduced resistance when reaching the lower registers.
One of my favorite design elements is maintaining a natural, smooth finish on the guitar neck. While heavy lacquer is often used in mass-market guitars for cost-effectiveness, it can create an unpleasant plastic-like feel and cause friction during playing. My necks are carefully finished to retain an organic feel while being sealed to protect against moisture and warping. This strikes a balance between playability and durability, ensuring a superior experience.
I’m passionate about tonal versatility, equipping my guitars with push-pull knobs for coil-splitting and phase-splitting options. Stainless steel frets ensure longevity, and I’ve experimented with glow-in-the-dark inlays and other unique enhancements. Every detail is a labor of love, designed to provide a superior playing experience.
