1/1
Handcrafted by one man alone,
Designed with one thought in mind,
What would Darth Vader play?
A slender and compact guitar for the player that needs no frills
A straight shredder awaiting its master
A weapon only to be played by the bold and mighty
The Prince of Darkness
The body and neck, carved using handplanes, spokeshaves, and chisels.
The curly maple binding, steam iron bent by hand and formed to the head stock
Inbedded in the neck is a Two-way Truss rod with two Carbon Fiber Rods,
One on each side of the truss rod, for added stiffness to the neck
Three gurthy quarter inch bolts attach the neck to the body by inserted threads.
This increases durability and sustain
A thin but strong finished is applied, it is highly resistent to scratching but does not deaden the tone and characteristics of the wood.
It is a floor finish I've used in previous jobs for bar and table tops called Rubio Monocoat
It's natural, non toxic, durable, and brings out the luscious features of the grain
With a unique transparent blood red pickguard bound in black,
Handwired and equipped with an Arcane Inc. Doom P-90
This guitar is begging to be shredded!
Built to endure the tale of time, to be passed down through generations
Let the story begin...

**Please note this was a prototype guitar to test durability and quality of materials and finish, there are some minor dings in finish but nothing penetrating finish.
I played the guitar at a few shows and traveled with it by plane and the finish held up great and I think is going to wear in very nicely over the decades to come!
