The Twins are two guitars that were a collaboration with my very good friend and long-time bandmate, Darrin Matney. Darrin's bender guitars are some of the most renowned instruments in the tele/bender market. Check out his awesome work www.facebook.com/MatneyCustomGuitars.
Interesting points about these guitars: first time I built in Alder, first time making a compound radius fretboard. Lots of good pics of the build process and a great pic of the compound radius.
Darrin, thanks for all the encouragement and luthier coaching, brother!
These two guitars are prototypes of some very exciting things to come in the near future.
