“I painted these as groundings, divinations, healing spells and therapeutic notes to mend childhood traumas. My creative practice is spiritual practice centering being as dimensional knowing.

Backlund Rockerbox II DLX
$425
auctionV2.input.startingBid
Backlund guitars are new classics. Iconic "retro-futuristic" designs that hark back to another era, but also hint at the future. Many are familiar with John Backlund’s fantastic guitar designs, but very few have ever had the opportunity to own one - until now. John has partnered with Eastwood Guitars to bring these fantastic designs to life.
Since launching this new line of Backlund guitars, the Rockerbox quickly became one of the most anticipated... and it's easy to see why! This new version of the Rockerbox goes back to basics with just a neck and bridge humbucker, three way toggle, and volume/tone for each.
