“India Garden”

In collaboration with Masterbuilder Jason Smith, Fender Custom Shop.

Continuing our folk art tradition, I worked with Indian motifs to design this custom telecaster for the 2019 NAMM show in Anaheim, California. It was a meditative practice, burning the top, back, and sides by hand. Jason selected an incredible piece of Birdseye maple for the neck, then worked his magic to complete a guitar that mesmerizes with flowing details.
