Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! I hope you have a great one!

Progress continues on another "4 Star" and the inaugural "5 Star." The upcoming "4 Star" will also feature a Silverburst finish. Given the positive response to this color, it seemed fitting to create another in the same hue. Indeed, the color serves as a nod to Adam Jones from the band Tool.

The "5 Star" currently in progress will feature a 3-tone sunburst finish complemented by a tortoise shell pickguard. The neck, crafted from 3A Birdseye Maple, is already completed and looks stunning. I'm eager for everyone to see it.

I have been asked about the inspiration behind the current guitars. My goal was to create something that truly matched my playing style while honoring my top three influences. These influences are Edward Van Halen (despite my different playing style), Joe Satriani, and Eric Johnson. This led me to have Kaser Pickups craft a bridge pickup to the specifications of EVH's 5150 Kramer and a neck pickup voiced like the DiMarzio Air Norton, famously used by Joe Satriani. The guitars incorporate numerous design elements inspired by all three of my influences.
