The "Model T" in walnut

The "Model T" in walnut

«"Here it is, the project that changed everything! The OG! The guitar to rule them all! The one for all the tests, experiments, and learning!"»

Made from a piece of walnut given to me by my father, when I had never dared to make a guitar in my life, I learned the basics of amateur lutherie on this instrument. The body was entirely handcrafted by me, with a profile inspired by an Ibanez FR, combining the traditional look with the efficiency and versatility of modern designs.

The neck was simply bought on Amazon, and looks remarkably like an Ibanez GIO GRG neck.

Since then, it has undergone multiple transformations and, through improvements (and mistakes), has become my instrument of choice, the one that represents me the most, constantly evolving!
