If you build it, they will rock.
Moniker Guitars Zuma à la Sweet Noisy Things
At Moniker Guitars they don’t build guitars for people as much as with people. You choose everything from the ground up. The body, fretboard, colour, design, tuners, pick ups and controls.
Founded in 2011 Moniker Guitars is lead by Dave Barry and Kevin Tully, two friends who loved playing and customizing their electric guitars. We can assume they were two dudes who weren’t that interested in a 9 to 5er. As the story goes their customs skills started humbly enough with stickers, sharpies and duct tape. Ya know, the standard make it my own essientials. Once they passed through their superficial phase of pimping their axes, they took a step up getting into the nut and bolts…and pick ups and tuners.
Feature is a little number we put together. Feast your eyes on the Zuma solid-body with rosewood fretboard, black bridge, black mounting rings, chrome Moniker Humbucker pick ups, chrome dome knobs, and chrome locking tuners with a red light-burst finish.
The site tells us that as soon as we press save on the this baby, there’s an estimated wait time of 4 weeks once an order is placed.
