Canadian skateboarder John Gibson (no relation) of 2nd Shot who creates functional skate art, called upon friends at the Canadian School of Lutherie and MJS Custom Pickups to help him build a really beautiful Fender Stratocaster-inspired electric guitar complete with whammy bar and a body made from recycled skateboards. It seems that great minds think alike.

The custom pick ups are hand wound and hand crafted from recycled maple skateboards… The head stock features broken boards and board graphics….Neck is Maple, bolt on. Covered in recycled skateboard. headstock features board graphics. 12 degree compound radius. Controls – Five position pick up selector, master volume and master tone. Bridge is Wilkinson.
