From beginning to end. A few steps not photographed, but for the most part, start to finish of the custom LED smokebomb bass. Complete with electronic smoke bomb system. And dual mode LEDs in the fretboard, pickguard, and smokebomb cavity. Always on and flash with sound of the bass.

Hello folks from all over the world. I've been a bit dormant as of late, taking on only special projects and working on my personal rig and chops. Meanwhile here's some footage of my latest creation "Smokey". Smoke bomb guitar mod done for a lucky local gigging musician.

Herbie Neck on a Vintage 80's strat. Rumored to be on a John Cruz Body. Our client bought the body and neck years ago and went to town himself with putting it together. He was never happy with the electronics. So we helped him out with some NOS versions of what would have been in there in 1962

Back in March/April of 2013. We were contacted to build a Smoking guitar. No OBEL this time. But we did it. One of the most highly guarded guitar secrets and we pulled it off in about 3 weeks including all parts ordering and Research and Development.

Check out the small Blurb we got in Premier Guitar Magazine online back in 2012. The GB1 is featured.

See the first half of our reader-submitted hot rod projects. If yours isn't here, don't worry - we'll have part two coming up soon!

Blue Flavor Obel Guitar Specialties recently was contracted to do the Ace Frehley Smoking Guitar mod. While we were in there we decided to add a few surprises our client really enjoyed. We added two small lasers and a Red LED to back light the Smoke bomb.

Custom Tiger clone made from a donated body and neck and a few donated parts. We managed to fit an OBEL. And a Frankensteined Roland GK synth pick up module.
