Frank Hartung Diavolo Glacier Lightblue
Frank Hartung Guitars recently finished up a new Diavolo. This Diavolo has a Quilted Maple top, One piece Cedro body, Curly Maple neck, Ebony fretboard, Bare Knuckle Rebel Yell Steve Stevens pickups, and a Glacier Lightblue finish. If you look closely in the bridge pickup cavity, you will see another unique feature. Once a little finish hit the natural cedro wood, an eye appeared in the bridge pickup cavity. Frank told me he felt like he was being observed by “The Eye” while he was finishing the guitar. I am always amazed at how things like this naturally occur in wood and this one is really amazing. Check it out, you can’t miss it!

William Jeffrey Jones Guitars iO Longhorn
William Jeffrey Jones is at it again. This time he has a variant on his iO design that he calls the iO Longhorn. The iO Longhorn features a one piece Walnut top with a maple veneer accent, maple neck, Macassar ebony fretboard, and Lollar P90s. The iO Longhorn is a beautifully designed guitar and the one piece Walnut top is just gorgeous. Walnut is really becoming one of my favorite woods from a visual standpoint and this is largely due to all the beautiful Walnut tops William Jeffrey Jones is using. This is another guitar that is currently available for sale from William Jeffrey Jones Guitars. To learn more about this guitar, visit:

The Daemon Sassefrax Electric Guitar From William Jeffrey Jones Guitars
I just got word that William Jeffrey Jones has a new guitar currently available. The guitar is called The Daemon Sassefrax and features a beautifully contoured Sassafras body, cherry neck, east indian rosewood fretboard, and a pair of reverse-wound Searcy String Works P90s. The grain on the Sassafras body is just beautiful and really fits the organic style of the new William Jeffrey Jones Daemon design. The guitar also features glyphic “tattoos” of inlaid ebony which adds a nice touch to the back of the cherry neck. I really like William Jeffrey Jones designs and this new model is no exception. He continues to put out one beautiful guitar after another. The price for this one is only $3200.00. That a a really good price for a fully contoured William Jeffrey Jones guitar.

Pfeister Guitars – Handmade Guitars From Luthier Craig Pfeister
The Luthier:
Craig Pfeister received a BFA from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco before he began Pfeister Guitars. Ironically, he wanted to learn to build guitars when he got to California, before art school was even an option. Craig began learning to build while still in school. Still, he is glad he took that route. Being surrounded by artists for those years and being forced to constantly push his creativity and skill helped him more than he ever thought it could. Craig quickly learned how far you can push your brain at any given time and he makes it a point to do so often.
Like most guitarists, Craig has been playing since he was about thirteen and immediately fell in love with the instrument, blah, blah.
Pfeister Guitars is located in the RiNo art district in Denver. RiNo is a fairly new, but quickly growing, art neighborhood in what used to be an industrial area bordering downtown Denver. The abandoned factories we all work in have a noticeable influence on the artists’ work, Craig’s included. Pfeister Guitars is located in the Tar Factory, which is shared with other artists, mainly sculptors.
The Guitars:
Craig believes that all art forms are, in the basic sense, crafts. Even painting is a craft; it’s up to the painter to make it art. On top of skill and experience, art requires humanity and imagination. Craig approaches all builds with that in mind.
Every guitar here is one of a kind and always will be. Music is the peak of human expression and he aims to make instruments which elicit that. Craig is not trying to be outrageous or controversial with his builds, rather he is trying to inspire the same way music has inspired these guitars, both visually and tonally.
He also believes that guitars are a perpetual work in progress. He makes all of the guitars, not only to be durable, but to age with grace. He favors distressed finishes over shiny, glass-like ones for a few reasons. The main reason is that he does not want the guitar to feel like a burden in the musician’s hands. He wants the guitar to feel completely natural and wants the guitarist to feel proud of the wear and tear given to it over the years.
