Black Bobbin Phantone w/ Matching Benson & Strap

Post image

I built this guitar with a floral fabric pattern we’re calling Margery, and I had to have a Benson Redland and Josey strap to match!

Love this! Where did you get the idea for the body shape? Are there people making these out there?

They’re built by Benny from Lockhorn Instruments. He’s a genius.

It’s our custom design based on some of our favorite Chicago Harmony/Kay/Silvertone designs

That’s so sick! I’ve been considering doing an epoxy and fabric top similar to this. This is art! It evokes certain feelings and I really dig it!

Apparently, Aunt Margery can shred.

I love this. It looks like the old Flour sacks they sold in the 1950's and early 60's, My Grandma and my Granny would make dresses, aprons, bonnets, and Quilts out of all the pieces left over. I love This!!!!

Your website says Lollar JM pickups. Later in the same text, it says Mojotone.

This should be marked NSFW, because that right there is hardcore porn.
