Hutchinson Guitar Concepts makes the most beautiful guitars in the world. Art. He works WITH the body of the instrument, not ON it. He respects negative space. Tempo. Rhythm. Pacing. Scale. Few artists appreciate the soul of their work this well. If he did tattoos I'd fly to him https://t.co/gPXmMVGqWl
This guy is like the H. R. Giger of guitars. This is the opposite of tacky – it's craftsmanship that goes all the way through. This stuff looks like it belongs in museums; I don't know if there are bands that have mastered their aesthetic enough to do justice to these instruments https://t.co/FEGA2R1g9z
He doesn't just work on the bodies of these instruments. He works on every little piece of hardware. He makes sure that every little detail serves the overall vision. No stone unturned. https://t.co/nRGeKb1BMC
Here's the process of the woodwork he does. Pay careful attention to the relative scale to the rest of the body. Observe how the curves of the lines are faithful to the 'body lines' of the guitar. If it were any bigger or smaller, it wouldn't work. It's just perfection https://t.co/7154Il5AvN
Just look at how he turned his vision into reality, carving intricate details out of bare wood. This guy is the Michelangelo of guitar-woodworking. Who even imagined that this was a surface that could be used to tell such great stories? I want to run my hands all over these. https://t.co/z0AWwM66YO
