- Parker P36 Leather Wrapped Guitar From 2008 With Piezo Pickup
guitarz.blogspot.com: I have a love/hate relationship with Parker guitars. I've played a few of them and they have all played and sounded great. I love that they are inventive with design and were one of the first, I believe, to offer piezo...
- 1970s Made In Japan Bigsby-equipped Mustang-like Three-pickup Wonder
guitarz.blogspot.com: I'm afraid I am unable to identify this 1970s Japanese-made electric which seems to be an amalgam of guitar designs from Fender and Gibson with perhaps a little nod to Hagstrom too. The 3-a-side headstock shape is slightly at...
- "horned Hell" Bass Guitar From Deadlight Designs
guitarz.blogspot.com: It's not to my personal taste but I'm sure this "Horned Hell" bass guitar from Deadlight Designs wouldn't look out of place in many a heavy metal band. It certainly beats the usual guitars festooned with skulls. We...
- Custom "rifle Stock" Bass Guitar With Stainless Steel Appointments
guitarz.blogspot.com: Here's a gun-inspired guitar that actually doesn't come across as too offensive. It's actually a custom-made bass in mahogany with stainless steel trim. The neck is apparently a Velvet Hammer (whatever that means) with...

Red Rock M1 - Like the guitar? Then get on-board with Kickstarter
guitarz.blogspot.com:
Hi GavinBe sure to check out this Kickstarter project to see Sean's other designs. You've got to admit, he's succeeded nicely in avoiding all the the usual design clichés! I particularly love the sculptured contours of the golden M1 pictured above. It has a very organic look to it. The headstock layout also looks particularly novel.
My name is Sean Mara, from North Vancouver BC. I love the blog, have looked over the past while and seen some weird stuff. But I have to be careful because… I am a guitar designer/builder. I love weird but as a designer I have to be careful what influences me. I hate copies. If I see yet another "new" guitar that looks like a Strat or Les Paul, I'm going to get a chainsaw and do a few mercy headstock decapitations.
Just spent a frustrating time trying to get major manufacturers to accept some of my creations. They are sssooo conservative, selling the same 2 designs for 60+ years. So I decided to take them on and have just launch a Kickstarter page to launch my designs.
The reason I am contacting you is to show you a few designs. Here's one I just finished. It is a one piece solid cedar 2 1/2" thick body with a 3 piece set neck and a fresh headstock for the others to copy. I'd really appreciate knowing what you think and if you would want other pics to mention it to your follower.
Cheers from Canada,
Sean Mara
