Currently making a diagram to employ 6 delays parsing an instrument signal in 6 different paths to 6-10 amplifiers for site specific installation. Although I’ll employ a mix of digital stereo and analog monophonic delays, the holy grail is the Fulltone Tube Tape Echo seen here (modern iteration of an Echoplex.) It’s the one you want.
Shout out to Robert Duncan who continues to bring the Noise.

Katrina #1 from a series of 3 guitars I’d constructed by repurposing submerged and salvaged wood from Hurricane Katrina. I’ve been printing these for my agent Jennifer’s upcoming show in New York on 17x22” paper. As they are life sized and true to scale they look pretty striking as prints. Let me know if you’d like one!
Special shout out to Jason Clark Webber, the charismatic frontman of my 7th grade band from Acton, Massachusetts called FALLOUT, and I just learned today- soon to be neighbor attending UC Berkeley.

Fukushima Prefecture Series, Fracture #1. An homage to the resilience and rebuilding of Japan. Work in progress utilizing a 70’s Matsumoku SG. Shout out to my friend Shinsuke Kishima.

As some of you know, Paul Gilbert has been a friend and collaborator for the better part of 15 years. Even still, quite an extraordinary fedex package appeared at my doorstep today- a pair of PG FRM100’s including Paul’s own personal world tour guitar that has seen a few hundred shows. Just amazing. Thank you Paul.

I constructed this snakeskin guitar with a Charvel Model 2 body, an original Floyd Rose and finished it with a heat gun and nitrocellulose lacquer. Another shout out to Austin, Texan Mark Ford.

Preview image of recent work launching shortly. Paul Gilbert with his original PGM 300WH. The tremolo cavity was blocked and converted to a hard tail 301 by Tak Hosono at the Ibanez Custom Shop, like many of his previous Racer X guitars. I had posters of all of them on my wall as a kid. A great piece of guitar history there.

Paul Gilbert channeling Antaeus in the Ninth Ring of Dante Alighieri’s Inferno. Shout out to Mia Chong-Hanssen at W+K for the waterfall of blood and to Alejandro Chavetta for the mastery.
