A unique custom Electric Guitar and Bass maker. Creating custom one of a kind personalized Signiture models for the individual who seeks only the most incredible playable work's of art.

History:

Founder and owner Shawn D. Rose is a life long musician who started off being a musician and always had a fascination with the guitar and it's funtion. To the type of wood and hardware to it's tonal qualities. After many years of experimental research and hours of building proto types to exceed the over the counter type instruments he decided to create the best instruments with the end user in mind.

When building his playable works of art he would ask the client who their influences where and the type of amplification they used as well as what effects they had to better understand his/her tone they had in their head thus being able to build their very own personalized Signiture model.

This started as a young boy at the age of 12 years old. Growing up in the construction industry was a plus especially with carpentry. The first guitar was built in wood shop. The hardware was used from a pawn shop guitar. The first one was not a successful build but set the landmark for the future.

Music was always in the blood. His father was a young guitar player and his uncle managed many bands out of Cleveland Ohio￼. This gave way to meeting many great musicians and exposed to their instruments. After seeing the group KISS in concert at the age of 11 he was completely amazed by the reaction of the crowed during the guitar solo and all of the guitar driven music he had just experienced he knew at that moment music, Rock and Roll and guitars was what he wanted to do.

Growing up he was exposed to many of the great Rock bands of a great era thus playing in many bands from an early age. With the influences of all the NWOBHM (New Wave of Brithish Heavy Metal) and all of the music at his disposel he progressed into playing throughout the North Eastern part of the United States.

As watching all of the competition move ahead and get signed by major record lables and his bands and style of music was not getting the notability he decided to move into other aspects of the music industry. Light and stage production was where his journey took him for a few years. But always building and playing.

In the early 2000's he started I. M. Muzik Inc. Which was producing several lines of guitars, drums, effect pedals and othe musical instruments.

The ever costly price tags on top brand names gave him the spark to create his own personalized Signiture models in which it keeps the end user in mind. Building only one guitar for each individual and never making the same one twice. Using the most exotic tops and finishes with the most boutique hardware available.
