Jack's Guitarcheology is now a PROUD dealer of K. Butler Guitars.
If you are unaware of the man, the myth, the legend K. Butler, he has quite an impressive resume. He worked for Gibson for a number of years before basically establishing and spearheading the First Act Custom Shop during its heyday, as well as, designing a lot of the import First Act models that were sold in WalMarts, Sam's Clubs, Best Buys, etc across the country.
That is actually where I come into this story. Showing my age a bit here, but I was a pre-teen to teen in the early 2000s and where I grew up in rural Kentucky, the closest thing we had to a guitar store was the First Act isle at WalMart. Some of the first "dimestore" guitars I played, modified or worked on were First Acts designed by K. Butler. This experience played an integral part of where I am today, so getting to work with Kelly now is really a dream come true for me (Jack) and the rest of the staff here at Jack's Guitarcheology.
Now, on to the guitar: This is a guitar that Kelly and I conferred on the specs so it would be a "Jack's Guitarcheology Special." I might be a little biased, but this thing rips. Plays like a dream and looks just SICK af. This was always one of my favorite of the K. Butler shapes.
Can't say enough about how cool this guitar is and how cool it is to get to work with someone who I look up to in this industry! All of our packages are packed tight enough to survive the apocalypse and we insure every parcel for the full purchase amount.
Got questions? Shoot me a message, I love nerding out with other gearheads!
