Jon Carin's Custom Shop Espada...The Build (complete)

Post by Craig »

From a G&L email received 12/20/2024:

G&L Custom Shop builds an Espada for Jon Carin, guitarist for Roger Waters' The Wall Tour.
This build includes nitrocellulose lacquer painting and artful aging of the guitar.

Thanks guys, this was a fantastic view of this build, worth the time to watch the whole process. While I haven’t been one for “relic” guitars, this doesn’t look too beat up and unrealistic.

The frozen section was a surprise. :thumbup: Maybe we will see this one played the ol’ YouTube sometime.

Look forward to more guitar builds and maybe some pickup winding.
Cya,
