License to build Kenneth Lawrence guitars

[Avatar2100]

I am proud to announce that I, Augustin Cristian Apostol (Antonio Guitars), have been authorized by Kenneth Lawrence to build guitars similar to his.
More precisely, I will be building the Type-X Kenneth Lawrence guitar shape (including his headstock and some inlays) but the logo on the headstock will be "A" because I am the only one constructing them. The guitars are built entirely by me.
All the guitars built by me will have a high standard of quality and can be customized in multiple ways.

For example:

• Exotic Wood
• Natural Shell Inlays
• Fluorescent Side Dots - Luminlay
• Side Dots with Optical Fiber - Different colors
• Brass Stop Tailpiece
• Brass Bridge
• Stainless Steel Frets
• Carbon Fiber Nut
• Bone Nut
• Buffalo Horn Nut

And many other options that the buyer can request.

These guitars would be a "licensing" to use some designs from KL. These are still Antonio Guitars, built my way, but using some of Ken's KLI designs by permission.

Congrats. Are your prices and wait times in KL territory?

Congrats man; I remember you posting up some of your Explorers here and your work looks incredible

Prices and construction time vary depending on the complexity of the guitar, I generally work quickly.

Congrats.

I guess Ken does this to make more money. Can’t see he would go that way anyways. Seems like a bad business move to me.

Awesome, that's seriously cool.

That headstock is one of the coolest heads I've ever seen.

I've always loved that headstock design. Looks great on Vs and Explorers.

So you are a one man operation? Wait times are how long? Prices?

Well I appreciate that you got permission instead of just ripping it off like all the replicas. Still I think the appeal is more than just the headstock shape.
