Shadows of things reveal in the glow of candle flicker, what whispers call to me in the night? I am alone here, in this dark room, and secrets not meant for the light of day beckon me to travel within. This place, where only dreams and visions dwell…

A Magick Guitar

I have been customizing and building guitars since 1985, but in the summer of 2006, a project began to fashion a Magick Guitar.

-The Device-

One that can bring or be brought, one that can enhance or be enhanced. One that can guide or be guided. What I chose to ‘alter’ was a ’91 Jackson Soloist to become the device. Stripped down to the wood, reimagined to suit the goal. Like any instrument of magick, all things are done at the right time at the right place with the right observances to yield the desired results. The voice of the guitar is the bridge pickup. Below it is the alter, the heart, the inner circle with the mark and words of the spell infused to give it life and power.

Magnetic electric, electric magnetic, the key is the instrument the instrument is the key.

It was it’s first use that brought the others. Unintended consequences… The call was made, one answered. Then another… and another… They came by their own form and will.

Vos obtestor, o spiritus digni, ut per manus meas concipiatis id quod facere cupio.

From the call of one came many. Guitars from beyond. The Magia series, the Demonia series, and others.
