We aren’t guitar gods.
We don't do 100 edits to make ourselves look like we are. .. and
We aren’t sponsored.
So, we definitely don’t make good financial decisions.
We’re just people who love rescuing, restoring, and collecting weird guitars.
Frankentone is a 240+ guitar private collection built through 400+ DIY rescues, rebuilds, upgrades, and restorations.
We buy what we love, fix what others pass on, and document the obsession along the way.
From obscure imports and forgotten MIJ sleepers to high-end oddities, if it’s interesting, it’s fair game.
You’ll see wiring deep dives, questionable modifications, honest reactions, and the occasional moment where a bad guitarist builds something cool… then forgets how to play it when the camera rolls.
Also: aggressively compressed edits because I discovered that tool 10 minutes ago and now it’s gone.
No sponsors.
No borrowed gear.
No influencer nonsense.
All instruments featured belong to us.

I might have ended up winning an auction on shop goodwill.. well, I did.. and may have overpaid depending on the condition this arrives in... but, coming soon, once they decide to ship it..

This may be the fastest I've seen a guitar sell out on Guitarsgarden. They listed, I put them in my cart, and then immediately sold out before I could complete the purchase.

This is the video I've been waiting to have posted.
We worked with our buddy over at Electric flamingo and finally did a collection tour, as people have been asking for.
Enjoy!

New collaboration videos coming soon!
We had Electric Flamingo drop by yesterday and tour the collection, play with some of the toys, and make these things sound better than I could!
We shot a LOT of footage, so, keep an eye out on the channels! This is gonna be fun!

Obviously, it's not a guitar, but I got an awesome new toy as my pre-birthday gift. My Impulse61 was pretty work out at this point so Rachel replaced it for me

This was a weird one we got a few years ago. I ended up not finishing it and letting it go to someone else as a project. I recently spoke to them and they apparently figured out what it started life as but couldn't remember :)
Anyway, it was cool because neck and body seemed to be original to each other, but doesn't match anything I've ever seen.
The neck is 29 feet, which is usually Washburn, but the body and headstock weren't that style..
Still cool. I am hoping to see what he eventually builds from it. If I had the channel back then, and the workshop, I would have probably kept this one and built it myself

Totally screwed up earlier when laying the logo for this headstock.. I blame the hay fever.. but yeah.. decided to play with it.. and I kind of fluff it since this will be on a metal-shaped guitar..
It's like the opening to Saved by the Bell.. or it could be "Uncle Jesse's Shredder" from Full House..
Or maybe just the front of a box of monster cereal.. I don't knows but if it dries well, I may keep it.
