In 2002 I had a chance encounter with Cliff Williams via the internet. I had posted my 1969 Marshall Major for sale, and Cliff jumped on it. He said he was going to use it in his home studio. After that I built a display case for Cliff, when the guys were being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He was psyched to say the least, and soon after, he wanted one covered in tweed for his 59' Fender P-Bass that he kept at his vacation home. Cliff is a class act and a great guy, and it's probably one of the coolest moments in my life. To this day, we continue to exchange emails.

Nick Catanese Guitarist-Black Label Society
In 2005, Eric McKenna of Boogie Street Guitars ordered a Display Case from us, which ended up being for Nick. Nick used the case to put his first Washburn Prototype in, and gave it to his parents for Christmas. Not long after that, and shortly after Dimebag Darrell was killed, I decided to do another Display Case for the Confederate Guitar that was built for Dime and in Nick's possession. We decked it out with the BLS Colors and Patches and shipped it off to him. He had been using the guitar on tour with Zakk Wylde and BLS, and didn't want to tour with it anymore since it was a one off. It was either coincidence or strange luck that I had chosen to do this case for him. Over the last few years, we have built several cases for Nick, including a personalized Guitar Vault, and a personalized Guitar Vault for Zakk. Last year, we built Nick a Shot To Hell Display Case to match his tour guitar made by Washburn, and eventually when we see what Paul Reed Smith has done for him, we'll do another one to accomodate one of those.

Dustin Prinz
From a small town in Nebraska, Dustin Prinz began playing music every night in a high school band. When he went to college he met some amazing friends and learned how to record his own music. He then got so involved in music, he hit the road and left everything he knew to crash from couch to couch, hitting Wyoming and Fort Collins. His journey has been finding love, losing love and himself along the way. Giving up on everything he headed back home a couple years ago and while spending time with the ones he loves has now found peace today. So a new journey begins, and this music is what he's using to lead it.
"My music comes from the places I've been, the people I've met, and those whom I've been blessed to have played it with.
These songs are my story, my journey of ups and downs and the realization that the person I've always wanted to be is the person I've always been but was too scared to see.
Thanks for listening and I hope my music can help you. It has helped me."
