Guitar Wraps

We are very proud of these new examples of our wrap technology.  These four bodies all look alike.  And will be displayed at our customers booth at the 2010 NAMM show next month.  So if you get the chance to go to the show, you can see the finished guitars at their booth.  I would tell you who they are, but it is better if you hunt for it.  When you do find these guitars you will find 7 other guitars we wraped for them.  Those other guitars I will post here next month after the show.

Hey Guys,

Here I am sanding and buffing the fretwork on Graham Nash’s Telecaster with
your fine fretboard protector. It works great every time!

All the best,

Here is something that we can talk about. Today we just finished our second paisley guitar for Pat Wilkins.  This one was redesigned without a pick guard, so you get more paislies for your bucks.  It may be more beautiful than our first one!

We haven’t blogged for three months do to the large volume of secret projects that we have worked on.  We would love to tell you, but then we would have to kill you. We just finished our eighth custom art guitar since March.  And just got another guitar in, that is top secret.  All I can say is that this one is an acoustic guitar from Australian luthier John Price and will have some cool custom art added to it by us.

We got this note today from Tommy Rosamond at USA Custom Guitars. We are very flattered and grateful . . .

Awesome stuff Mark!!!!! Thanks for helping out all of my customers I send you!!! You guys do great work so I always recommend you!” Especially to the guys trying to cut corners and doing their logos at home that look like crap. I know they don’t like to hear it but I always tell them “Man you have a 2 thousand dollar bass with a 2 cent decal, call these guys“! Take care Mark and have a great day! Tommy.”
