My major work is a fully custom 7-string baritone guitar and matching amplifier, both built and customised by hand. The guitar was shaped from scratch, with all hardware and electronics installed by me. The amplifier, rebuilt from a donor unit, features a custom, fully hand-cut asanoha kumiko panel for a unique, handcrafted finish.
