This is what some of the folks who have put their damn good efforts into.
We worked with Hampton Guitars to design their own line of guitars. The owner had an idea in his head that he wanted to see as a guitar and we worked together to bring into being.
Now his company is up and running and selling his own line of guitars.
Here is one of our LP kits finished and out for play…
This is one of our Australian Customers. We made him a custom kit, flame maple cap, neck and body binding and trap inlays. He has done a fantastic job with it. The grain of the flame maple cap just pops out. This is what he sent along to us.
I have finally finished the LP kit i bought from you. I have to say one final thank you. It was so easy to make this guitar because everything was made so well before it even hit my hands. It took almost no setup at all as the neck fit like a glove.
I have played it for a couple of weeks and it is definitely my favorite guitar now. It just sounds massive, plays silky smooth and it truly is a joy to play.
Thanks.

We work with a number of guys that are building their own line of guitar. Reid Hampton is one of those. He had an idea for a guitar line that he has always wanted to build and approached us and we were able to work in the flesh what his vision was in his head.
This is the initial result of our working together.
This is piece of writing from Gavin Downie, one of our great customers. He had sent along the pic below a while back that showed all of his guitars hanging on a wall, including our LP Jr. ( see the lil red beauty right in the middle ) I sent him a quick email back and asked about the guitars, any stories behind them. I think it is cool the stories that come out. I am interested in stuff like that.
This is the pic that started it all…and what I got back from him about guitars. Gavin works with a lot of touring acts, in the land of the All Blacks….. Notice Mr. Gibbons in the pic at the bottom.
Love it.. Guitar AreGREAT!!

From Joe:
I started this from an LP with P90 routs. After a couple months working
with a friend on the finishing process, we sprayed the last of the clear
coats and then we let it dry for about a month. Here are some before and
after shots of the guitar in process..
Great neck, good wood, and great action.
Erik wrote to me a while back telling me about a guitar that he had years ago that he wished he had kept. It was an SG Jr., cherry stained. He wanted that guitar but updated and this time in a beautiful rich white. so he bought a kit from us and went about building a legend. He documented the process.
And apparently the Lollar pick ups are fantastic.
This is a great read on how to make one of our kits.
Take a read. here’s a link to Erik’s build blog.
