    Two customs and my first graphic

    Hey all. Hadn't posted anything in a while so I thought I'd share. Sorry for the bad pictures, my cellphone is really starting to show its age. Anyway on to the good stuff. A couple of customs built for me by Benford Guitars. Steve is an awesome builder and a great guy to deal with, I can't say enough good things. Both of these are walnut bodied with maple tops. Rosewood necks, but the Autumn burst guitar has an ebony board. The little leaf inlay is burled maple, thought it came out really cool

    Through getting to know Steve throughout the builds, he approached me about doing a graphic for an art series of guitars he was planning to do. I'd never attempted this before but was up for the challenge. Im actually really happy with how it turned out. I wanted to go for a very bold, 80's-90's inspired graphic, with some obvious nods to Warren D. It was really fun to do this, and really glad that he let me be a part of it.

      AWESOME!!!!! I am so so so glad you found Steve. He is a great guy, and an even better luthier. I wish you could visit his shop and see the joy he gets from what he does. He really does get jazzed about cool builds, and I have seen yours in person as they have been coming along. They turned out fantastic. Can't say enough. GREAT!!

        Ah thanks for chiming in!! I forgot to thank you in the post, it was your Koa build thread on here that led me to him.

            Very nice! I remember when you posted the thread of the black one, 23 frets. I see 23 on the Autumn Burst, also.
