THESE ARE LITERALLY HOT OFF THE PRESS, I HAVE ONLY JUST FINISHED THEM AND AM AWAITING A THIRD PHOTO TO COMPLETE THE SET. THIS PERSONALIZED DECK SERIES WAS COMMISSIONED BY CHRIS LAVENDER TO CELEBRATE THE BIRTH OF THEIR NEW SON ROCCO WHO'S DECK IS STILL TO BE FINISHED. CHRIS WANTED THE PIECE TO BE GUITAR INSPIRED, SO I WENT DOWN THE ROUTE OF THE MARIACHI. I WANTED A ROSEWOOD GUITAR LOOK AN FEEL WITH INTRICATELY CUT WOODEN ORNAMENTAL FLOURISHES AS WELL AS TIE IN SOME GUITAR IMAGERY. I DECIDE TO PUT THE NAMES ON WOODEN PLECTRUMS ON THE TAIL TO MAKE IT MORE SUBTLE BUT GIVE IT SOME ALMOST PEARL INLAY STYLED FLAIR. I AM SUPER STOKED ON THE OUTCOME I THINK THE OVERALL IMAGES CAME OUT AS I HAD HOPED AND I THINK THE MARIACHI FEEL IS VERY MUCH ALIVE IN THESE.
Jono, those decks are sick. Nice one.
