No, you didn't forget to put on your glasses - This a one of a kind creation from contemporary artist Phil Sylvester. Phil brought us the Fractured Stratocaster and since has dedicated himself, and his new company, PheoGuitars to the creation of some of the wildest yet most extraordinarily functional "art guitars" and "art amplifiers" being produced today. Phil has pieces in the collections of folks ranging from billionaire Paul Allen to Billy Gibbons. If you look at the video in the "News" section of the Pheo website <www.pheoguitars.com> you will get a taste of Phil's insanity and creativity.

The Pheo Bofe And
The Pheo Bofe And combines structural characteristics of two of the best solid body designs of all time, the Telecaster and the Les Paul. The body is one piece mahogany with a sculpted, tiger stripe, hard maple cap. The neck is mahogany/rosewood, glued in place with a unique joint for maximum energy transfer. The neck is 25 1/2 inch scale, with a 12 inch radius and a medium C profile. The neck pickup is a Rio Grande Tall Boy Strat pickup. The bridge pickup is a Sylvester Custom. The Bofe And has an oil finish and Sperzel locking tuners.

About Phil Sylvester
"My last twenty five years have been spent as a fine art painter, drawer, and sculptor. What I have learned from 20th Century master artists, Giacometti, Cezanne, Matisse, Johns, and others, is an economy of technique, doing what is necessary to get the job done, nothing more, nothing less. The work of these great artists is about expression above all, and all gratuitous craft is rigorously paired away. Most fine guitar making is obsessive about craft perfection. Mine is not. I strive to build instruments that sound exceptional, play beautifully, and are extremely interesting to look at. The instruments aren't gratuitously tidy or perfectionistic or consistent. I tear them apart and rebuild them until I find them exciting. Perfect guitars are great, but there are plenty of those. I'm searching for something more raw, more direct." - Phil Sylvester
