This episode features my longtime friend and mentor Frank Pasquale of Pasquale Custom Guitars. Our friendship first started when Frank built me my first custom made guitar when I was 16 years old. Frank, being a godly man, always had really great advice and encouragement for me when I was a budding shredder in the Chicago suburbs. Come along for the ride as Frank shares his story of moving to LA from Pittsburg, PA in the late 80s to purse his dreams of being a thrash metal rocker, to then become a guitar builder who learned from Mike Lipe, the Ibanez USA Custom shop master builder. In this episode we go through my guitar collection, which has several guitars that Frank built for me over the years, we then go through several of Frank's custom creations from his secret collection and he tells us about his affinity for vintage Kramer guitars, of which he's amassed nearly 20! Frank is a one of a kind, hardworking American that tells it like it is and has built some of the coolest metal machines the guitar world has ever seen.To see more guitars built by Frank, follow Pasquale Custom Guitars on Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/PasqualeCustomGuitars/
