This guitar is an odd amalgamation of all things that have had a big influence on me in the guitar world. The body being a shape I drew in high school tracing magazines lusting over metal guitars of the time. The marquetry inspired from my time as a student at Galloup Guitars and my initial exposure to boutique flattop guitars. And finally some involved electronics, Purple Heart and maple neck with multi laminate back strap from working with Rick Turner the last 5 years. It is a mean, metal, 7 string machine built from equal parts brutality, sophistication, and good vibes.
