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 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.
 
Awesome, that's seriously cool.

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