EPIPHONE EVANGELINE custom guitar

This is my latest custom guitar, and I do stress the word CUSTOM because this surely isn't an Epiphone-licensed guitar. Although, it IS an Epiphone. Originally, this G400 Goth was all satin black. Now, however, it is graced with an antique ivory finish and satin gold trimming.

The floral appliques are wrought iron and are screwed directly into the body. We also had to completely reconstruct the Epiphone headstock logo and I decided to go with the diamond shape rather than the typical SG-styled flower.

For the back, I went with a tree abstract and think it turned out beautifully! It's not often you see artwork on the back as well as the front!

Aethertone AE2 Steampunk Les Paul

This was the second custom I did. A Gibson Les Paul Studio - steampunk style. The first pic shows the guitar before the stylized and personalized pressure gauge was added (with the customer's name on it). The second pic shows the pressure gauge after it was added below the stop tailpiece.

AETHERTONE AE1 - Steampunk Stratocater

This was my first ever custom guitar. Built on a 1989 Fender Strat. While it looks as if there are burnished metal plates and a bajillion screws...there are no metal plates and the only screws that are real are in the pickguard. Add a custom monkey grip and the fretboard is scalloped all the way down to about the 18th or 19th fret. The fretboard was also blackened and custom dot inlay "screws" were added.

It was alot of fun to make and it sold for a cool $800 on eBay. Not bad considering I only paid $100 for the guitar!

AETHERTONE CUSTOM GUITARS & ETC.

Welcome to the home of AETHERTONE (pronounced: E-ther-tone)

For a long time I've been doing different kinds of custom artwork. In the past year and a half I've been working on custom guitars.

So far, I've completed three of them, which I will post here shortly. The first two were very similar in design but on the third one, I really stretched myself and tried to shoot for something very unique.

I'll post them one at a time and will try to include a small writeup.

Currently, I'm in the process of designing a new guitar body style as well as a completely new type of guitar neck. More details to come on that.
