Here are some pics of my latest build, FryPan-8. 25" scale, all aluminum construction, polished, fret board is matte finish.


















Body and neck are two pieces, 6061 aircraft grade aluminum. I make my own pickup. Pots are 250k.

Yes, I build these guitars for others. This one I just finished up and will be shipping out shortly to it's new home. Prices vary depending on guitar, you can see the different models I make on my web site, www.innovativeguitars.com . I also have a Facebook Page for my guitars I build: Innovative Guitars . This one was $599.99. Usually takes me around 1 month to build one, depending on my work backlog. My email and phone number are listed on this web page.

Overall length is around 33" to 35" depending on scale length.

I have a Soundcloud account under Wayne K. Johnson. I am not good player, but, I try to get some clips available for people to hear. I am building another 8 string Frypan for myself, and when it's completed I'll create a few new sound clips of it and post them. Sadly, I sold all my Frypan guitars, so right now all I have is an 8 string acoustic I made for myself.
