The Carbonetti “Savagist” Model serial number 28 built for the champ and one of my favorite people in the world Matt Sweeney... @theheavyjamz

The Carbonetti «The Savagist» model serial number 28... One of my favorite things about cool guitars is the story they keep with them... One late night years ago hanging out with @theheavyjamz we were talking about guitars and Matt brought up the vibe of the rectangle (Bo Diddley) guitar and how awesome it is. So I ended up making him this one and about a month after it was finished I get a call from Gretsch telling me that I can’t make this model due to a copyright. So with that this guitar is a one of a kind and in the hands of the guitar champion Matt Sweeney. @ The Guitar Shop NYC
