I know! I KNOW. But I probably can't guess. I've seen it in person and that paint job ROCKS! |

I wish I could paint like that mark - not me. Looks pretty wicked though. I like the spikes on the trem arm - the more you shred, the more YOU shred !!!! They should put those on all guitars like that, and on all the frets above 15 too, maybe the punks in the music stores would slow down a bit then !!! |

Paul, As I look at that guitar, it occurs to me that maybe the reason you like it so well is that John didn't embellish the sound hole? I see no rosette on the Blue Monster....
Steve P.S. So, John, you gonna tell us how you did this? AND its evil sisters? They're just great. |

Thanks alot John!!! You wrecked me when I visited your website. I have a load of nice electrics, but now find myself on a mission to get one from you. Great designs great contours and beautiful paint and finish work. I love the macro closeup of the fingerboard on your homepage. Fun site to spin around on, too. All the best, Kevin Gallagher/Omega Guitars |

Not only does he build master guitars but he plays them well if he's the one playing all the samples!
I also loved the shop pics and the CNC machine

Ok, now I'm gonna blush....
Seriously, thanks for all the nice comments and for visiting my site. And yes, the playing on the samples is my "hackery". |
