The Viper

This one has a reptilian coloured top, and has been appropriately dubbed The Viper. It’s very light and sleek with a great range of tones. Think of it as the look and feel of a superstrat, but with a wraparound bridge instead of a tremolo. Check out the playlist of the build process here. Body:…


Something Stratty

This was my first strat-style guitar, and my first with a tremolo. I love the way it turned out. I haven’t shown the front of the headstock up close because… long story short, it was a customer order featuring the customer’s nickname and signature on the headstock, and he ghosted me without buying it. Awkward….


The Blackwood Telly

I called this one a “Telly” because it draws some inspiration from the Fender Telecaster in the similar body shape, but that’s where the similarity ends. With its 24.75 inch scale, 3 tuners per side headstock, and its dual humbuckers, this thing is a curious mix. With sweet, clean tones, spanky strat sounds and the…


And one for me…

I decided not to sell this one. Instead, I sold my old Ibanez and made this one my guitar. Here’s another example of why I love oiled Elm tops. In the video series about how I made this, I called it “something Fenderish,” because it has the classic offset shape made famous by Fender. Behind…


The Flame in Fir

I loved this guitar. I know, as I build more and more guitars I’ll be saying that of plenty of my creations. But this one really had something. Just look at it! It sounded great, too, a real all-purpose instrument, from sweet mellow tones to fat, distorted chords. The Flame in Fir was another manifestation…


The Pall 2.0

The Pall is my guitar design based on a coffin. It’s basically for death metal. ☠ But as the man who bought this guitar shows us, you can play whatever you like on it! This is called the Pall 2.0 because it’s the second one I built. This is all recycled wood. The core and…


Broken Elm

Broken Elm was a beautiful guitar. All my guitars are beautiful in their own way, but this was the first one that I would just admire for a while. Ever since I sold it in early 2020, my wife has said that she misses this one. The top was made from a broken piece of…


The Flame

This is the first guitar I ever sold at Monster Guitars. The Flame is the name of a guitar body shape I designed. I originally called a slightly different model the Flame, but I redesigned it to look like this, slightly enlarging the body and also adding a horn on the bottom, which made it…
