I just received and assembled your incredibly generous gift. What a beautiful stand, it brings a new organic feel to my office and it’s the perfect stand for this old Gibson Hummingbird that was just sitting in my office couch. Again, thank you for the letter and the gift.

Black Acacia Wood

Mesquite Wood

►GUITAR STAND: Locally source desert hardwood is uniquely hand-crafted and custom designed from weathered-down trees recovered around metropolitan Phoenix, Arizona areas. Acquiring these logs allows me to create 100% sustainable art, repurposed live edge wood designs. Handmade in North Peoria, Arizona.
►DIMENSIONS: 45-48”L, 6-8”W
►GUITAR BASE: Arizona grown desert hardwood prevents the stand from tipping forward, backward or side to side. Size: 12-15”, 1-1-1/2” thickness.
►STRING SWING HARDWARE: The new design, known as the “Guitar Keeper”, has a deep cradle design that prevents the guitar from being improperly placed into the hanger. This ultimately provides a safer hanger for your instrument, as the guitar needs to be lifted 2 inches and brought forward to be removed. The pivoting yoke allows for Electric, Acoustic or Bass guitar headstocks to be cradled perfectly while still hanging straight. Made in the USA.
►DESIGN: GC Creative Works has done the researched and tested the use of proper hardware for mounting the String Swing guitar hanger to live edge wood materials. A threaded insert made of carbon steel zinc plated finished goes into predrilled hole and has internal threads. It offers a strong permanent thread to live edge hardwood and mount the guitar hanger yoke.
►FRACTAL ART: It’s a process of applying thousands of voltage on the wood recreating lightning strikes in random slow motion making unique abstract figures, tree and vein like shapes on the surface of the wood. It is sealed with epoxy inlay ink self-leveling high gloss U.V. resistant formula. *Warning: Don’t try this at home. It is fatal and deadly.
►EPOXY: Self-leveling high gloss U.V. resistant formula epoxy with color pigment is added to seal the burns created during fractal art process on the surface of the wood. The colors available are: (Arizona Gold, Army Green, Black, Blue Metallic, Cardinal Metallic, Caribbean Blue, Emerald Metallic, Golden Yellow, Hawaiian Blue, Hunter Green, Orange, Purple Metallic, Red, Sky Blue, Teal Metallic, Turquoise Blue, White)
►OIL FINISH: Hand rubbed finish using Old Masters gel polyurethane clear satin gel and John Boos mystery oil. It brings out the natural beauty of wooden surfaces; durable coating for use on wood surfaces and contains ultraviolet absorbers for advanced sun protection.
►USE AND CARE: To revitalize desert hardwood, apply UltraPro Mineral Oil and wipe off excess. UltraPro® Food Grade White Mineral Oil helps maintain and preserve wood board surfaces. It is colorless, odorless, and tasteless mixtures of saturated paraffinic and naphthenic hydrocarbons.
►COMPLETION TIME: Please allow 7-21 days to complete from the time order is received.
►SHIPPING TERMS: Free to continental US states including Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico. Standard Shipping takes 3 to 7 business days from the date of order received. Additional freight charges for International shipments.
►ABOUT THE ARTIST: Garie Chavez [Artisan/Musician/Luthier] – I have been creating live edge wood art since 2015, transforming sustainably recovered desert hardwood into one-of-a-kind functional works of art. In 2020, I expanded my craft by designing custom handmade guitar hangers featuring fractal art and ocean wave resin designs for celebrity musicians. By 2023, I completed my first custom handmade electric guitar, incorporating my signature fractal art into a fully handcrafted instrument. Every piece I create reflects my commitment to patience, persistence, passion, and meticulous attention to detail. No two creations are ever alike. My goal is to craft artwork that is not only beautiful and functional, but also deeply personal—something my clients will treasure for years to come, knowing it was made especially for them. Thank you for welcoming my art into your home and allowing me to be a part of your story.
