The zebrawood guitar has a through the body multi-laminated neck and a gold Floyd trem. The walnut instrument with the crazy body design is one of the first guitars I ever built and it still plays very nicely. I have been offered large sums of money for it but have always resisted the temptation to sell it. For a while a few buddies and I tried to market it in a kit form (dumb idea) but mainly ended up selling a lot of inlayed necks, which was cool enough. The neck with the aces, spades, hearts and clubs is an example of difficult to execute inlay work. It was done for the Ibanez custom shop and they told me that they didn't want any filler used, none! I had to cut the symbols from plexiglass and inlay them without flaw. All this keeping in mind that they only gave me one neck and if I messed it up they would have been fairly upset I imagine. I think they told me that this guitar was for Joe Satriani. If anyone has seen him play it, let me know.

Pictured with me in the black and white photo is one of the higher tech instruments that I've built. In the bottom 2 pick-up shells are 24 pickup coils. 4 for each string! In the neck position is a standard humbucker. This guitar is capable of more sonic effects than any other guitar I've ever played in my life! It can produce full quadraphonic distortion effects. This allows a clean sound to be custom blended in with the distortion and panned in stereo or quad. I like chords that have fat distortion on the low end but I like some clean mixed in on the upper strings so that it doesn't become a wash of harmonics. This enables one to play chord voicings that are far more complex than what you could do on a normal guitar. There are presets that can be edited and the whole system can be defeated for normal balls out distortion with the flip of a switch. I hand made the multi layered printed circuit boards to accommodate my exotic electronic designs. This instruments also has full 'Integrated Single String Capoing' on every fret!
