SPECIALTY RUNS
Three to four times a year, we offer specialty runs. These are instruments with set design parameters, built as a group.
Certain guitars may only be purchased as part of one of these runs: Sharks, Hypemachines, and SX Limited models. Some other runs offered have been the Standard Series guitars, Fantasy Series (featuring 100+ pieces of shell and stone inlaid into the body), and the Muscle Car Series (based on the designs and vibe of the muscle cars of days gone by).
Our Muscle Car Series is NOW AVAILABLE. Please scroll to the bottom of this page for details.
As a general guide, the release schedule for each year looks something like this:
Feb/March - SX Limited
July - Hypemachines
October - TBA
December - TBA
All participants of a specialty run are invited to a private forum to chat about designs and specifications, share thoughts and ideas, and select timbers and hardware. All clients have access to all other clients. It's a community! We also run an interest free monthly payment plan, and a handful of client meetup days in various locations to encourage participation between everyone.
Within our private forum, our clients receive literally hundreds of photos of the progress of the run, videos, and daily updates. We don't hide behind an email server, it's all open, honest and community based.

MUSCLE CAR GUITAR 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. As an avid muscle car enthusiast, I have been patiently awaiting the right time to release this range.
In the past, Ive owned a number of Australian muscle cars (Torana GTR, Torana V8 hatchback, Torana SLR5000 replica, HK Monaro GTS) and currently own a HK Monaro GTS (soon to get an injected and blown 540ci) and a Supercharged V2 Monaro CV8 (635hp) as my daily driver. I formed the Monaro Car Club of WA, and I'm currently a full member of the Ferrari Club of Australia.
Strictly limited to EIGHT 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.
For inspiration, think of: Camaro, Monaro, GTO, '57 Chev, GTHO, Trans Am, Mustang, Nova, Torana, Charger, Corvette, MAD MAX!, movie cars, etc etc etc etc
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, as I work with you to really nail the perfect design to represent the muscle cars that inspire you.
