• M E Minarik on Claudio's Custom Red Medusa - "Visionary artists like Claudio Sanchez come around once in a lifetime. Claudio's Minarik Medusa has some very special features. It has blood red paint with a black bursted edge, which is a custom mixed paint colour. The neck is custom fitted to Claudio's playing preferences and the fretboard and headstock inlay are custom designed. The materials used to design this beautiful and intricate fretboard are: gold, white, pink, and black mother-of-pearl with green, red, Paua and pale abalone (both figured and non-figured) engraved brass, spalted ebony wood and maybe the most novel material used, 10,000-year-old mammoth ivory throughout. I hand-selected the tone woods that were used to build the body of this guitar for bother weight and sound. The result of all this work is an epic guitar for an epic play." ^[16]
