Another amazing custom flight case by Superior Cases in Alberta, Canada. This case should survive a direct hit from an extinction level asteroid! đź’Ąđź‘Ť Guitar fits like a tailored glove, and the lid has gas-springs ftw! đź‘Ś

Sharp Dressed Men! I'm extremely honoured to build another family treasure for this Father/Son duo. I may not have had a Dad as cool as this, but he did support my interest in guitar, with both playing and enrollment in Luthiery school.

With companies retooling to assist with the pandemic, and the ensuing mental heath crisis, thought I'd do my part by making Rorschach inkblot tests with Buckeye Burl wood. Does it mean I have narcissistic personality disorder if I see my face? Oh well, if you fail one Rorschach test, you've failed them all.

It was on this day in 1982 that Ozzy Osbourne’s guitarist, Randy Rhoads, was lost to a tragic airplane crash. Despite only playing on two albums, he completely transformed rock guitar, as well as profoundly impacted the lives of countless people, myself included.

These two original guitar model prototypes I built were heavily influenced in design by two of Randy's iconic Les Paul and Jackson V, so what better way to christen them than by revealing how they sound for the first time with a couple of his guitar solos on this special day.

Sorry I'm the world's sloppiest guitarist, but this is my tribute, so I have to play it! I expect to be thoroughly roasted for it, but that may be just what I need to push me to practice more! Also, no disrespect with the lower tuning, but both guitars are setup for C standard tuning. They were plugged directly into a Boss Katana 50 amp.

To make the Gypsy and X-Caliber model prototypes extra special for me, I used the same board of wood that the tops were cut from to make wooden boxes for Randy Rhoads' sister and brother. The lid for his brother Kelle’s box, a humidor (cigar box), was cut from the Gypsy quilted maple top, and his sister Kathy’s box was cut from the X-Caliber curly maple top.
It was a lifelong wait to finally visit Randy’s family music school in Burbank, California, where I was able to present these gifts in person. For Randy Rhoads fans, visiting the Musonia School of Music is like the pilgrimage to Mecca.
