Marie Osmond Actually
Designed This Guitar.
She Is Incredibly Artistic, She Involved Herself
Fully In The Project From Beginning To End !!!
Mike Risinger Did All The Body Carving & Re-Carving &
Marilyn Simms (Left) Did All The Jewelling.
I Met With Marie Myself 7 or 8 Times During The Design
& Prototype Phases.
This Guitar Holds The Record
For Design Changes !!!!
Under The 3000 Swarovski Crystals The Body Has
Sawblade Battlescars & Many Spliced On Pieces
The Signature Marie "M Logo" Is Raised 1/4" And Is Covered
With Hematite Crystals
We Drove The Guys In The Shop Crazy But We Had A Lot Of Fun
!!!
During The Designing Process I Got To Know Marie Quite Well.
She Is A Wonderful & Caring Person, I Hope To Work With Her
Again On Her Next Guitar Project.
It Was A Real Privilege To Get To Know Donny & Marie I Can
Really See Why They Are Icons.
Currently Their Show Which Has Been Running In Vegas For 2
Years Is Packed Every Night.
The Show Is Currently The Best Musical Revue On The Strip,

Budding Musician, You Will Like

Paul Harvel with one of the original Edbergers from 1997
When we made the original run of LSR guitars we made them very fancy.
Heavily Quilted, Wild Paint, Fancy Inlays, etc etc.
This one was made from solid Korina and was built to a very tasteful
minimalistic standard.
Built For Leslie West In 2001
100% hand made in USA. Graphite Neck, Duncan Pickups Top Quality
Available in many colors !!!!
This is the
latest Leslie West model, Leslie calls it the Rocket !!!!
It is very light and easy to play
This Original Pre Gibson Steinberger Guitar was Leslie's Main Axe for more than 12 years.
Upon receiving his first LSR In 1998 Leslie demoted this to 2nd guitar.
He completely retired it in 1998 in favor of the EB-1 like
Eddie's.
The Leslie West Rocket Model (above) was still on the Horizon
at that time.
This is the
Original Leslie West LSR Model. Many of them had "Leslie
West" inlaid in the wood just below the pickups.
This was patterned off the old
Steinberger that he used for 12 years.
When Leslie first got this guitar
he gave one of his old Steinbergers to Eddie Van Halen.
Incidentally Leslie was one of
Eddie's early influences.
