MWM X Chiarelli : Rock N' Roll Series.

Excited to share news of this recent collaboration with my friend James Chiarelli. We've been working since June, and everything is now ready to rock. 3 hand-painted Telecasters and 9 effects pedals.
The Guitars are available completed with Fender standard series necks, Jason Lollar pickups, and vintage style Fender hardware. Hand-painted by yours truly. Click-Zoom.
Contact for pricing and availability. *Worldwide shipping is available.
"The Tele is a design that in many ways hasn’t changed since the 50’s. It is the “work truck” of guitars. Not as seductive as the Les Paul or the Stratocaster, but it is second to none when it comes to function. Joe Strummer, Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Merle Haggard are all associated with the utilitarian Telecaster." -Chiarelli
Painting the set of 9 pedals as puzzle pieces was fun. Each is available on it's own. But why not grab 3 in a row of different effects? Available Effects : Fuzzface, Jordan Bosston fuzz pedals, and DOD Overdrive 250. Click-Zoom.
"The pedals are hand built using true-bypass switches, high quality jacks, and NOS transistors. All of the parts were chosen for sound rather than economics. The transistors in each pedal are to the circuit board so the user can try different transistors for varying tonalities. I chose circuits that are pretty explosive sounding. For example, the Fuzzface is most closely associated with Jimi Hendrix." -Chiarelli
