►WOOD MATERIALS: Each live edge guitar body is uniquely hand-crafted and custom designed from weathered-down trees found around metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona. By acquiring these logs, it allows me to create 100% sustainable, re-purposed live edge wood art designs. Locally source and made in North Peoria, Arizona. Both sides of the slab goes to a router sled table to obtain desired flat surface and thickness. As the wood slab ages, noticeable cracks on the wood may appear due to its natural dry cracking process and changes in humidity and temperature. Any voids or cracks from the wood are sealed with epoxy to maintain integrity of the wood. ►BODY: The body is slight heavier due to being desert hardwood. Each body is hand-sanded and shape with minimal power tool use. Since desert hardwood materials are more dense and heavier in weight, the overall thickness between 1-1/2”-1-5/8” to lessen the overall weight of the body. This configuration is only for use with Hardtail fixed bridges. No CNC machine is ever used to shape our guitar bodies. Every guitar body I make starts by harvesting the log myself, put in the sawmill and cut to slabs and shape into a functioning custom made desert hardwood electric guitar with fractal art. Proudly handmade in North Peoria, Arizona. ►NECK: Guihan Guitars use USA and Japanese made necks for all custom electric guitar builds.
