Between design, research and development, and actual physical work; 400+ hours of work has went into this (all work has been completed by myself).

The design is based off of 60s Framus Strato de Luxe and Fender Maurader Type I guitars. The guitar used for this project is a 2008 Squier Jagmaster.

The Jagmaster had its offensive polyurethane finished stripped, and was replaced with a hand-painted imitation petrified wood finish. The plastic pickguard was replaced with hand made copper control plates in which the top control plate acts as a proximity control to kill the volume; while an ostrich skin pickguard hides four pickups powered by a bespoke booster unit.

This guitar also features a hand made strap made of worsted wool and silk, topped off with emu skin armour.

The crest on the headstock is a design based off the Bruce McLaren-era McLaren team logo.

Unlike the MP1-001, this guitar is designed to withstand balls out rock action.
