Hello all! Here is my entry! It is two CAO 770 flathead engine cigar boxes for the main body and two chromed, flamed Chevy custom valve covers on the sides, to keep the engine theme going!! It has two gold dual blade pickups and a single coil tele-type bridge. It also has 500k tone and volume pots with a really cool C. B. Gitty Crafter Supply on board distortion pyscho knob! All sporting skull knobs and skull tuners!! The neck is made from the dark hardwood Wenge, with awesome grain, has a 25.5 scale and of course..flames! To top it off, it has two chrome tail lights that light up!

Second Place and a $100 C. B. Gitty Gift Certificategoes to High Bird Handcrafted Instruments!

Here is the Ornate Hawk Eagle II, a build I made for myself with a lot of details and handmade parts. A lot of time was spent making this, and I went through a lot of extra effort. For instance making 8 pickups to select 2 of them, making custom tuning keys and control knobs and woodburning the whole box. It's been quite a journey and I'm pretty glad it's over now. I was by the music of Hermanos Gutierrez, Glass beams, Khruangbin and north African music and tried to catch the vibe it gave me if that makes sense. The instrument is named after the Ornate Hawk Eagle, a beautiful raptor that lives in South America, which it resembles with the colors. Hermanos Gutierrez are coming from Peru so it's a full circle on the character of this thing.
