Mantis II in Black and Gold

Just finished up this build for a customer - its one of my Mantis II in Black and Gold. Mahogany body and neck - flame maple cap in trans black. Tree of Life inlay in the fretboard. Set up with Bare Knuckle single coils in the neck and middle with a Gibson P94T in the bridge. Its wired like a Strat and it sounds and plays better than I could have expected.

White Flame Les Paul Style with Bare Knuckle Emeralds

Just finished this guitar for a good customer of mine - its a Les Paul style in white - all mahogany construction with a fantastic ebony fretboard with mother of pearl and abalone flames inlay.

Bare Knuckle Emeralds, CTS Pots, Orange drop Caps, and a push pull to coil tap. NIce chrome surrounds, bone nut,

All the binding on the bosy and neck was done in Abalone for a really custom look.

A really sweet guitar, and a very happy customer.

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN Esquire / Telecaster Relic

I just finished this build for a customer - Its a Bruce Springsteen Esquire / Telecaster relic. Fitted with "The Boss" Bare Knuckle Pickups. Reliced like Bruce's Esquire. CTS Pots - a vintage 1960's nos oil capacitor and treble bleed. I put a light tint on the neck to get an authentic vintage vibe. Nice setup and its a great player with perfect tone as always from the Bare Knuckles.
