Today I am joined by my friend Cianen Brenan who is fresh out of college with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and a burning passion for playing and making guitars.  Cianen and I have been playing guitar together for probably about six or seven years, ever since he was in high school.  As much as I have influenced him, he has also been an influence to me.

In this episode we talk about adding a fancy switch to a telecaster that makes it feel like you are shifting gears in a car!  We talk about his budget Squier with a neck pickup that sounds like garbage, but a bridge pickup that just sounds super gnarly in all the right ways.  Then we start looking at some of his DIY homemade guitars and realize that all of his DIY guitars have a certain amount of Jank, and quite a bit of cool.  From his EBMM inspired 10-foot guitar, that is a borderline failure (that he loves to play anyway), to his absolutely baller Jack Daniels Themed Les Paul Special Style guitar that absolutely rips.

Cianen and I had a great discussion and we even got to jam at the end!  Hope you enjoy!
