CORT Fuel Series Motor Oil 1 BKS

We have teamed with innovative guitar designer Stephen McSwain from McSwain Guitars to create a truly unique new series. While brand new, each Fuel guitar looks like a great vintage find. The imagery on the top and cavity covers was inspired by antique oil and gas cans. Details like aged hardware and distressed finish complete this instruments unique appearance.

Who is McSwain Guitars?
Stephen McSwain decided to create a new breed of guitar that he likes to call "functional art." His custom guitars and basses are hand made, one at a time in his shop in Los Angeles, and have unique characteristics that make each one a highly collectible instrument or piece of art, depending on how you look at it.

  

It all began many years ago with a motor carving tool, some Exacto knives. Stephen started carving faces into the wood and eventually ended up with the guitar that is now in the possession of Steve Vai. That was number 0001. Instead of trying to mimic or copy the masters, he decided to make an amazing sounding/playing guitar while incorporating carving, metal work and unique inlays to individualize each guitar, using a variety of reclaimed items. He goes to scrap yards and finds old aircraft metal and gauges, shooting ranges for bullet shell casings, old wood that may have interesting history (ie. an old cabernet wine aging cask, old destroyed stage flooring), even bones, to give each guitar it's special individual mojo. ... and as inspiration for the Fuel Series, old gas and oil cans.

Many rockstars began to take notice of McSwain's unusual designs and started placing orders. Over the years, rockers like Slash, Tommy Lee, Ben Moody of We are The Fallen and Evanescence, Jerry Cantrell of Alice in Chains, Steve Vai, Vernon Reid of Living Colour, Jared Leto of 30 Seconds To Mars, Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols, George Lynch of Lynch Mob and Dokken, and many others have added at least one McSwain Guitar to their collections. Cort is excited to now team with Stephen McSwain to offer a production version of one of his sought after hand crafted masterpieces.
