An absolutely stunning, rare guitar from Matt Artinger. This is a Custom Neo Classical II and has many wonderful upgrades. The mahogany back is carved with Matt's bat wing carve. There are 3 bevels, one for each point of contact with your body. The handmade ebony tailpiece, bridge and pickguard are nothing short of exquisite. The fretboard plays beyond a dream; effortless. The Mahogany neck features dual carbon fiber reinforcement and Spruce to is flawless. Through an amp, the tone of this guitar could be described as gutsy and round thanks to the Ebony covered Duncan Jazz humbucker. Excellent for jazz playing styles and truly a treat to listen to. Overall, one of the more amazing electrics we've had here at Dream Guitars!!!

Player Reviews:
"Matt Artinger is a true artist. His amazing instruments start with wonderful designs. Fresh lines, perfect execution and wonderful artistic touches. I suggest you enlarge the photos and really enjoy this one. Look at the tailpiece and bridge, the pickguard and the ergo bevels. It's mind boggling the level of detail on this Artinger guitar. The tone is full and juicy and it plays like butter. Someone is going to be a very happy player...." - Paul Heumiller
"This guitar has a specific sound that is really cool and responsive, but it's not a typical electric tone. I really enjoyed playing it." - Al Petteway
