Every piece in this collection honors a guitar that 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.

​

Each one is reimagined as a handcrafted wood art piece: a 25" × 11" shadow box featuring a museum-scale guitar likeness — roughly one-third the size of the real instrument — built from carefully selected woods, alongside an engraved portrait of the artist and their story. These are art pieces for the wall, not playable instruments, but every detail is faithful: the worn finishes, the engraved logos, even the proportions of the original.

​

Every piece begins months before the first cut of wood. I research the history of the musician, study the instrument from every angle, choose woods that match its character, and reproduce every detail I can capture in miniature. The goal isn't to build a guitar — it's to preserve a piece of music history in wood, at a scale meant for display.
