Hi All,

i've been searching around, looking for the company/individual who builds these beautiful guitars. I saved this picture awhile ago thinking i would remember the site where it came from. To no avail. If anyone has any information and opinions it would be much appreciated (I've been searching for the past couple of hours). Thank you for your time in advance. i think these instrumets look fantastic-I wonder how they sound.

Best,
George

Thats it! Thank you! Has anyone played one before to possibly offer tone and playability analysis? Thank you again in advance.
Best,
George

There's an article in a Guitar mag I have on these guys - I'll try to scan it and post it if its short enough.

I own Rollercoaster Girl and she sounds as good as she looks. The pickups are fairly hot but have nice harmonic twang. There are transformers with three way switches which adjust the roll-off or something for each pickup. The bridge goes from spanky clean to fat and nasty for example. The neck is an asymmetrical soft V with a flat radius, fast and comfortable. The bodies are mostly hollow, adding a little richness to the tone. The prices have gone up over the years, close to $5000 these days, although you might get a discount here and there. They rarely come onto the used market; I've never seen one on eBay for example. I did see Devil Girl used five or six years back at the Orange County Guitar Show in Costa Mesa.
