Every guitar built by a weirdo in a garage is going to be special, but some are just extra special.

#044, "the Octomorph," a custom one-off octave soprano guitar for Blake Leyh. Walnut body and neck, rosewood fretboard, 15.5" scale, 1 11/16" nut width. Rewound Zen-On goldfoil pickup by Gemini. Tuned E to E. Blake is always an absolute joy to work with. For instance, when I told him there would be a pickguard and I might need him to reign me in because I can go a little crazy with pickguards sometimes, his immediate response was "be unreigned! go wild!" And so I did. Don't miss the epic unboxing video he and Ryoko made with the guitar!

Crowfoot #037, "Polyphemus"
A one-off original, designed in conjunction with my old friend Jérôme. I like to think Polyphemus brings the simple/rustic Crowfoot esthetic to the world of slick, modern guitars pretty nicely. It is crazy comfortable and sounds amazing, thanks to the Fralins. Torrefied swamp ash body with clear satin nitro lacquer. Pau ferro on pau ferro neck (no finish), 25.5" scale, 9.5" radius, stainless steel medium/medium frets, Tusq XL nut. Lindy Fralin Blues Special strat pickups, 1 volume, 1 tone, 5-way switch, Schaller bridge, Sperzel locking tuners. 6 lbs. 13 oz. total weight.

M2C "XENOTONE"
Designed with and built for the amazing Blake Leyh (www.blakeleyh.com/), this is a very special M2 variant. With guiding principles like "high-tech meets low-tech" and "zebra fur with LEDs," we landed on a retro-futuristic, stone-age space guitar. 2-piece black limba body w/ Tru-Oil finish. Slim black limba neck w/ nitro lacquer finish, Indian rosewood fretboard, medium-jumbo frets, 12" radius, 24.562" scale, 1 11/16" nut width. Tusq XL nut, Grover tuners, Bigsby trem, Golden Age roller bridge. 1 vol, 1 tone, 3-way toggle. Victory Lowrider gold foil pickups that sound AWESOME in this application. I look forward to hearing it in many recordings to come!
