Guitar makers
Hi all I have a mate who's a keen guitar player can't make one for peanuts. I have sent him a couple of links in the past to guitar makers off here but I and he have lost those links. Now the forum closed viewing peoples works its impossible without joining to view the works and he doesn't want to join up.
So if you could either PM me you link/website/blog or put it hee I can then pass it on.
This is the guitar which spured this on sadly not a member off here.

Everything is custom made, including handmade pickups, my own hardware (tremolo and fixed bridges), any neck options, any woods, any inlay (25+ materials including stones, shells, etc), custom custom custom...

I really like your work Perry. Could we have some more pics and words about the copper guitar? I couldn't find anything at your site.
Cheers, Bill

I finshed it on boxing day 2012. I was built for the band Blunt Force Trauma, whom have four instruments so far, and another on its way soon.
The body is Northern Ash, Wenge neck, Ziricote fretboard.
Pickups are my own designs: Nunchucker A8 in the bridge, and noiseless single coil in the neck Old School +
Sperzel machineheads, and my own bridge pieces (I also do my own tremolos and three styles of fixed bridges)
The theme I was asked to run with, was "19th century, Industrial Human Eugenics Machine". Ok....
stained recesses....
Painted, cracked, and aged painted recesses...
I dont have any photos uploaded that are of the progress..... so jump to the end....
I also dont have official "completed" photos, as there as still a couple additions to the theme: a machine 'label' like you'd see on the side of a machine listing specs, a raised alloy logo, and a warning plate on the back. the guitar is here today, the guys head off on tour wednesday, and i'll complete it and grab photos then.

You can see the rejected "engineer plate" or whatever you want to call it, in the top of this picture... Got another one made up from alternative material.
