“I know how men in exile feed on dreams.” — Aeschylus
This is a guitar about quitting your job and vanishing into the woods. An iteration on my first scratch design, born across the country at the American School of Lutherie in Portland, Oregon. Inspired by the Explorers played by my creative hero, Claudio Sanchez of Coheed and Cambria. My attempt to improve on some classic but outdated guitar design trends, including “better bird” crow inlays.
