Joe completed the building of a limited run of 11 guitars using a custom inlay that he designed called “The Black Rhino”. Artistic Guitars is proud to be offering “The Black Rhino #1” - a killer Sheyenne, and “The Black Rhino #9” - an exceptional Severn Quilt HSS.
I have received many guitars over the years with exceptional tops, and in “335-like” guitars, incredible top and back sets. This guitar has the nicest pin stripe top / back flame maple set that I have seen. It is very intense and beautiful.
The Black Rhino #1 - Sheyenne has an exceptionally flamed curly maple top and back finished in Charcoal Burst gloss with a mahogany middle section. The neck is curly maple, also stained in charcoal burst. The fingerboard is curly rock maple with black binding. The headstock veneer is curly maple with a stained onyx maple binding which gives a spell-binding look. This instrument has Lollar Imperials with black pickup rings. Knobs are black nickel with MoP inlays.
There is only One #1 - and this one is now available only at Artistic Guitars…
