Pfeister Abused Blues #2
DESCRIPTION:

In Craig Pfeister's words:
"This isn't a relic or a theme guitar. I believe things don't need to be shiny and pretty to be aesthetically pleasing and I wanted this guitar to emphasize the 'other side' of beauty. Everything on this guitar is heavily and thoroughly distressed. The wood was burnt with a torch before being finished and even the finish was distressed. All the hardware, even the frets, has been aged worn. It may look haphazard, but actually takes me significantly longer to make a guitar look this decrepit, while still functioning perfectly, than it does to make something shiny.

"I wanted the tone of this guitar to match the visual style and I think it sounds as smokey and organic as it looks. The overall tone is woody and snappy, but it's also very dynamic and capable of many unique tones. Like all of my guitars, I want this instrument to inspire the player. I tried to make every aspect look, feel, and sound natural."
