Here, 45 is considered a milestone. I don’t know if that’s a lot or a little. I feel like I’m 30. But I feel as experienced as someone who’s 50. I can sum up these years. A childhood in the impoverished Soviet Union, then a period of personal development in Germany. Studying art and working with frescoes. Musical experiments and guitars. Two full-length albums, dozens of concerts, around 30 completed monumental art projects across Europe and the Balkans, dozens of guitars and other instruments, five workshops set up, several houses built, dozens of trees grown, and two wonderful daughters. I could retire, but I’m not planning on stopping 😁
For several months, I’ve been working intensively on endless tests, comparisons, and experiments with PAFs, fine-tuning the machines, and adjusting the alloys. And now I’m presenting an updated lineup featuring several new PAF pickup models. The Model 59 PAF clone will now be available in three versions. The version with the A2 magnet delivers a smooth attack and a wide dynamic range. This setup showcases exactly what your guitar is capable of.

Мне принесли на съемку Fender AVRI ’62 Stratocaster, который клиент попросил переделать в реплику инструмента John Frusciante.
Не просто перекрасить. Снять лак, заново собрать цвет, прожить на корпусе годы износа: край, где стирается лак от руки, царапины от пряжки ремня, металл, который темнеет со временем, износ дерева накладки грифа, следы от падений, ударов о стойку микрофона, и любых других препятствий, которые инструмент встретил за годы.
И я постарался заснять все это, что бы показать вам

A Fender AVRI ‘62, relic’d after John Frusciante’s Stratocaster. Not just repainted — every scratch, every worn fret, every darkened piece of hardware in exactly the right place.
