Electric guitars

[defspace]

I know some of you play guitar. I know a bunch of you like it loud.

There have been some interesting discussions on Vsalon handmade guitars vs handmade bikes. I particularly enjoyed this one: http://www.velocipedesalon.com/forum...nts-21254.html

I think there are plenty of interesting parallels between handmade guitars and bicycles.

I know you are guys all like handmade bikes - that's why you're here, right? What sort of handmade electric guitars get you excited?

I've been stoked on the stuff Doug Kauer makes: Kauer Guitars particularly the Starliner series. I've also been digging MotorAve guitars: MotorAve Guitars - Home How cool are those brushed aluminum pickguards?!

These things are handmade by an artisan in Florida, and are fantastic instruments. I know plenty of guys who use them, mostly for loud abrasive rock, but they are versatile enough to use in any kind of music.

My brother in law is a luthier and made my guitar, which is a far better instrument than I am a player: Corwin Guitar Co.
Mine is the black DC-3 without pick guard on the website.

Usually not super into relic guitars but I'd love one of those P90 SGs.

Love these too:

I've wanted to do something like this for a long time. Really curious about their sound.

Rousting this thread from the dead, because someone made a documentary about Carmine St. Guitars. A place to visit in NYC if you get there. And to buy a guitar.

I used to play in a band with a guitarist who is married to Rick Kelly's niece and so he had a lovely assortment of instruments from Carmine Street, including a couple of those exquisitely funky Bowery Pine Telecasters. Fantastic guitars that just beg to be played hard and put away wet.
