The Guitar Legends Collection

Telling the story of legendary instruments

Every legendary guitarist has a story. But behind every legend is a guitar that helped shape music history. My goal isn't simply to recreate famous musicians in wood—it's to preserve the legendary instruments that inspired generations of players

Why these guitars matter

Every guitar in this collection earned its place in music history. Blackie. Lucille. Micawber. Number One. These weren't simply instruments—they became extensions of the artists who played them. My goal is to recreate those legendary guitars as faithfully as possible using the centuries-old art of intarsia, preserving every scratch, every detail, and every story in wood.

Every piece begins months before the first piece of wood is cut. I research the history of the musician, study the instrument from every angle, choose woods that match its character, and reproduce every detail—from worn finishes to engraved logos and even the strings themselves. The goal isn't simply to build a guitar. It's to preserve a piece of music history.
