THE JAMES COMPARATO CASTLE GUITAR

Built by local master James Comparato, this is what happens when serious craftsmanship meets a castle full of interesting parts and a complete disregard for the conventional guitar industry.

Every piece on this guitar is essentially no-name—which, frankly, makes it more interesting. No famous logos. No marketing department. No artist endorsement deal. Just a collection of parts that somehow came together to create a guitar that looks absolutely bitchin', plays remarkably well, and sounds even better than it has any right to.

James built this one from the things he had lying around his castle, proving once again that a skilled builder can accomplish more with a pile of mysterious parts than most companies can with a warehouse full of branded components.

The result is a genuine one-off. There isn't another one exactly like it, and unless James decides to raid the castle again, there probably won't be.

It has attitude. It has mystery. It has no famous name on the parts. And it absolutely works.

This is the kind of guitar that people ask about when you pull it out of the case (no case included LOL). The kind of guitar your friends will play and immediately become suspiciously quiet afterward.

And James—if you're reading this—you know exactly where it came from. The question is whether you're going to let somebody else own it.

Local players: come play it before someone else recognizes what it is.
