FANTASY RUN
I'm extremely excited to offer this run. After taking a break from full custom orders in 2012, it's time to step back into the more elaborately themed instruments. As much as I love building kick arse guitars, it's the personal elements that give me inspiration to do my absolute best work.
Remember when you would jump out of bed on a Saturday morning to watch your favourite cartoons, or the excitement of unwrapping that new Sega or Playstation on Christmas morning and the books that fueled our imagination and took us away to new worlds?
These stories, characters, and other worlds all became a part of each and every one of us, all playing a part in our teen years, when life didn’t seem so serious. For some of us, the fantasy never left, and continues to this day to be a part of who we are.
Strictly limited to SIX guitars, these WILL sell out fast. With end of 2015 delivery and monthly payment plan, you cannot ask for more in an honest, well built instrument.
Postage available WORLDWIDE.
I understand this list of options and can be a little overwhelming.
Once you have placed a deposit and signed on to the run, we will add you to the official facebook client group, to discuss ALL these options, and many many more. YOU DO NOT need to decide on ANY of these options for some time. There will be a LOT of discussion prior to locking in your specifications around easter 2015.
