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.

Building an Uli Jon Roth Sky Guitar with 36 frets

Been wanting to do one of these for a while now - its an Uli Jon Roth Sky style Guitar.
36 frets on a Maple cap neck, 6 strings for now - will do a 7 or 8 string version when I am happy with the build. I am not scalloping the fretboard as I am not a fan of that style - the electronics will be an issue as these is a humbucker placed under the fretboard on the upper register (I am thinking of 3 Bare Knuckle Warpigs to much derision by my colleagues!). I am also going to include a Strat style bridge with piezo's in the saddles. Sails of Charon anyone...

We have done this guitar as a gift to the Rev - we dont have any endorsement deals etc. Horton Heat supported Motorhead in the USA last year and this was a way of saying thank you for the hospitality.

The guitar itself is a 335 style mahogany body / neck with a maple top - finished in black - ebony fretboard with no inlays, Les Paul style hardware with the 3 way switch on the upper horn. We fitted a nice set of Bare Knuckle Mississippi Queen Humbucker sized P-90's - CTS Pots and Orange drop caps.
