Enigma is actually the name of the guitar. I made it my self a few years ago. The body was hand shaped out of a piece of rock hard maple and has a quilted maple top. The neck was bought from a guitar parts supplier. The head stock was hand shaped similar to a Paul Reed Smith. The body is a cross between a Paul Reed Smith and a Rickenbacker 4001 bass. It’s fitted with a Rium-Siwel 20db gain circuit that make it scream with the maple body. The Rium-Siwel circuit was designed and manufactured by some friends, John Muir and Mike Lewis. Get it? Muir and Lewis spelled backwards. Anyhow, the plan was to make a couple dozen guitars by now. Unfortunately, this is the only one ever produced.

That guitar looks fantastic. You had me drooling as I read your description. I bet it sounds gorgeous as well as looking great. With a better border, I'll bet you could have placed a lot higher. BTW, I love your portfolio.
Beautiful shot, original and creative idea. Gorgeous lighting. I could possibly have given this a 10, but I'm afraid your huge and overbearing border has ruined the photo for me. 8
8. I really like the contrasts in color and shape. The texture is well done. My preference would be for more clarity in the guitar's body and strings. The border is a bit wide, however I am fast becoming a fan of borders.
the gigantic border detracts from this. I see the appeal of a big black border but one half or a third this size would have less of an overpowering effect with the same drama.
