Mavs Guitar

Written by Luthier Bob

So I worked with the guys to design a Mavs guitar. I am not a huge basketball fan, but I have grown up in Dallas. That said I am a designer and I really like the logo they came out with a few years back. So after several designs and a photoshoot (notice the other HiTone in the picture) I was in the catalog.

Through the magic of Photoshop, however the guitar had never been produced. Until now.

Watch the video of how it was made and what it sounds like.
