Modern shredder guitar makers - jtkung - 12-02-2018 There are many makers today of the same type of guitar: 6,7,8 string, multi-scale, stainless steel frets, bolt-on, multi-laminate neck, exotic woods and finishes, strat-style body.  Sadly, you can't tell them apart anymore. They offer the same things, with very little in differentiation.  Ormsby Carillion Skervesen Mayones Mermet OD Daemoness Barlow Vandermeij These are all spectacular guitars but seem to follow the same blueprint of CNC milled exotic woods and finishes. What I don't see are unique construction methods, woods or materials. Some have ventured into headless versions, but they seem to be an afterthought.  Don't get me wrong -- I love all these modern makers. It just seems they are trying to outdo one another by how fancy their bling is -- using exotic woods, colours, finishes, and inlays.  I tend to like differentiation by design, construction, and unique materials.
