Wow, your work is a great example of doing something [relatively] simple, but doing it to perfection. I love that neck joint!

Patrick...I love nearly every single beautiful detail of this guitar. Excellent, tasteful design and execution. But that control cavity cover? Really?

And finally a very nice picture of Pascal Richard, the owner of the instrument from the band Clawerfield at the LACUEVA ROCK'N'ROLL CIRCUS... performing with Coroner :)

We changed the pickups for some SP Custom CHAOSLAND II et BOOM LEACH

Patrick,

I've enjoyed viewing your craftsmanship very much.
Very inspirational for my progress.

I admire your attention to detail very much and your
approach to reach out and incorporate new ideas and materials such as the nut material.

I have a question and please excuse if you mentioned and I overlooked...
Do you make the headstock inlay. It appears to be aluminum with your initial machined in, or
is it made for you along with the pickup covers?

Thank you Patrick,
Michael

My logos are cut by CNC out of aluminium...

My pickups do not have any covers, its a solid epoxy cast.... ;)

Man!...I love both pieces of wood on the body. That striped mahogany/sapele has grain contrast as deep as I've ever seen and the maple....what exactly is the green grain in the maple?....I'd guess copper mineral inclusion....or did you use some sort of dying process to get that green to pop?

Salvaged Crotch Cut Old Growth Western Maple, probably a couple hundered years old, really unique :)
