This is a custom guitar amplifier I made based on a vintage Tweed Super schematic, and modified to be more useful for both home and live use by adding new features such as a cathode/fixed bias switch and a master volume. I also custom made the cabinet from sustainable beetle kill pine. I can custom make combo cabs or head cabs such as this out of beetle kill or many other domestic sustainable woods. This particular amp is about 30 watts and is plenty loud for live venues, but also sounds great at apartment levels.

I have been building electric guitars for more than 10 years, and not a single one of them has been the same. My philosophy is to take the best materials and to connect with them before I even start building. I often start a guitar without knowing exactly how it is going to end up. This gives me the flexibility to realize when there is a chance to enhance the sound or play-ability of any given project, and to use that particular piece of wood the best way I can. I feel that many custom guitars these days lack soul, and are basically the result of an assembly line. You can rest assured that I've done everything I can to make each guitar as comfortable, stable, tone-full (is that a word?) and fun to play as possible. I want to create a guitar that you always want to just pick up and play. If you find yourself reaching for this guitar automatically whenever you have inspiration for a new song, lick, or lyric I have reached my goal. My guitars are inspired by the mountains and nature, and I love showing off the natural materials that I get to use. I use only thin oil or shellac finishes that are kind to the environment, feel great, and showcase the actual material that is being used.
