Artist's Guitar Custom Rebuilds
If you really want something different I can take your run of the mill guitar and turn it into something very special. I can rebuild it as a copy of your favourite player's guitar. No top player has an "off the shelf" guitar, they are all modified to their specifications. Manufacturers bring out models based on these guitars but they are little more than cosmetic copies with nowhere near the same level of modification, big manufacturers are simply not prepared to invest the time and money producing a guitar which may have a limited market.
My artist's guitar rebuilds go way beyond just being cosmetic copies, they are extensively researched and are as close as it's possible to get to the original guitar without commissioning the original builder to make one for you! The guitar is completely disassembled down to it's component parts then rebuilt with the same modifications as done to the original, where possible the same parts or the closest modern equivalent to the original parts and where possible the same wiring set up. I must warn you it is not a cheap option, the cost of upgrading the parts alone can be considerable but if it is something that would interest you drop me an email and we can discuss what would need to be done to bring your guitar up to the same level as your favourite player's one.
Below are two examples of artist's guitar rebuilds I have done for customers and my own "Blackmore" Strat. On the next page "Completed Projects" there are further photos and information on the late '70s "Blackmore" Strat and the Schenker Flying V.
