Description

Joe completed the building of a limited run of 11 guitars using a custom inlay that he designed called “The Black Rhino”. Artistic Guitars is proud to be offering “The Black Rhino #1” - a killer Sheyenne, and “The Black Rhino #9” - an exceptional Severn Quilt HSS.

I have received many guitars over the years with exceptional tops, and in “335-like” guitars, incredible top and back sets. This guitar has the nicest pin stripe top / back flame maple set that I have seen. It is very intense and beautiful.

The Sheyenne model is one of my favorites from Joe. As a 335 style guitar, it has a phenomenal acoustical resonance, and is an inspiration to play.

The Black Rhino #1 - Sheyenne has an exceptionally flamed curly maple top and back finished in Charcoal Burst with a mahogany middle section. The neck is curly maple, also stained in charcoal burst. The fingerboard is curly rock maple with black binding. The headstock veneer is curly maple with the morningstar inlay and a stained onyx maple binding which gives a spell-binding look. This instrument has Lollar Imperials with black pickup rings. Knobs are black nickel with MoP inlays. 7.8 pounds

There is only One #1...
