What guitar is this?

I've been trying to search for one specific guitar for months and have made very little headway on it.

This picture comes from an Instagram post from Bora Karaca,, and is probably the clearest quality I've been able to find of this guitar. The only other "viable" image is a later background photo for the old website of his studio, but it is unfortunately blurrier.

I've suspected for a while that this is likely a DIY guitar, similar to a Solo PRK-10, but there are differences in the general proportions of the two that lead me away from that specific model. The headstock is also more Gibson-like, save for the very top shape.

looks like a schecter 3&3 headstock shape to me

The ones that I'm looking at do look similar, but the ones that are asymmetrical are too narrow. The headstocks that are wider that look closer tend to be symmetrical from what I'm looking at.

its a pretty grainy photo, are we sure its not stretched out horizontally through some fluke of the interwebz

The full image (hyperlinked in the original post) does have a bit of a fisheye lens effect, but the guitar itself is fairly centered in the image and has minimal distortion from the fisheye effect. I did rescale the image by double with nearest neighbor for the Imgur link.

Here are the two other pictures I have of the guitar, everything else I can find of it (which isn't much) is too low quality to discern any details.

I'm saying schecter custom shop, but I'll never prove it without emailing the artist and I don't this person, hell, I've never even heard of them. Good luck, bud.

The "unique" shape of the headstock and the "interesting" paint job make me think it's a PRS-style DIY build. I've never seen a headstock that splay out wider at the top like that from anything Schecter Research, Hamer, PRS, Dillion, etc ever did, but I can easily imagine it coming from a DIY kit.

I'm with Jim: DM or @reply the dude on social media to politely ask them directly. The worst that can happen is nothing, but I'd say better than 50% chance they respond.

never hurts to ask, right? I've made so many friends that way too
