Completed Builds
I always liked making things, so a while ago I decided to build a guitar as a fun project to make use of my CNC. Instead of just building one I kept going and now everything I build is either a guitar or a tool that helps me make better guitars. Here you can see the ever growing gallery of builds I have completed.
Alchemist #0001
After finishing a first prototype this is the first Alchemist build. Featuring a striking Padauk body with a tremolo bridge and Fishman Fluence pickups, it is a very versatile and comfortable guitar to play.
Woodland Spirit - Alchemist #0002
Taken over by nature, this Alchemist build is an absolute beast. It features an Ash body an custom Dark Art Guitars bridge pickup that just has the riffs flowing.
CP-01
Created for the Great Guitar Build Off 2023, this guitar pushes the boundaries of design and sound. The unique cyberpunk design is paired with a wide range of sounds provided by custom see-through pickups, as well as integrated piezo pickup.
Ice Kraken - Alchemist #0003
Custom built for Jackson Grim, this 8-string beast packs a real punch. Featuring an alder body, EMG X pickups, custom glow-in-the-dark Kraken inlay, and much more.
Black Magic - Alchemist #0004
Burnt to a crisp and imbued with dark spirits this evil axe will summon the most gnarly tones. With 7 strings and a single EMG pickup the heavy riffs will just flow right out of this guitar.
Alchemist #0005
This guitar plays just as blazingly fast and smooth as it looks. Featuring an extra thin neck, scalloped frets, Fishman Fluence pickups, and much more it is a dream to shred on.
Necromancer #0006
A brand new shape and a display of nature's most creative artworks. This absolute 8-String beast is the flagship for a whole new model available for custom orders. It also just happens to be the lightest 8-String I've ever played.
Necromancer #0007
The Doom Slayer Inlay, single DiMarzio X2N pickup, and On/Off button show it clearly, this beast only knows off and 110%! The heavy riffs will just flow out of this 7-stringed monster.
The Watcher - Alchemist Prototype #0000
This is the first guitar I ever built from scratch. It is the reason Dark Art Guitars exists. While it obviously does not represent the level of quality I expect now, it is still an interesting piece of Dark Art Guitars history.
