I've always wanted to take a Gibson Melody Maker to the next level. Released on the PMDguitars label, my goal was to make it appear to be something that could have come right out of Gibson's Custom Shop. Take at look at my spin on the "Melody Custom" .
My own personal Taylor
This USA Fender Stratocaster got fractal inspired artwork that features a lot of candy undertones and metallic that gives my simple, hand drawn art a lot of detail and pop.
This USA Fender Telecaster is unlike anything else. Released under the PMDguitars label, the 3D artwork is laced with Diamond Dust in the areas of color, giving it a sparkle effect as it passes through the lights. An effect that cannot be seen otherwise.
Released under the American MattieLive Custom label, I created the Screaming Eagle Warbird. It's a one off custom with a lot of edge.
This one off custom creation replicates the Cleveland Benedictine High School logo. I donated it to the schools annual Blue and White Gala. It's very simple, but very detailed.
