Workshop
Welcome to 8Bomb Custom Workshop.
For over 20 years, I have dedicated my life to restoring monumental and Christian historical masterpieces.
Today, I apply those exact same old-master techniques, chemical processes, and reverse-engineering principles to recreate the legendary voice, timbre, and soul of Vintage Guitars and PAF pickups.
PAF pickups clones
Born from years of deep historical research and reverse-engineering of the legendary '59 Les Paul, our clones capture the amazing dynamics and raw nuances of original "Patent Applied For" pickups.
Classic Model PAF clones like the '58, '59, & '61 Replicas are made with High-quality materials, meticulous hand-craftsmanship and realistic time-worn relicing. It provides unique dynamics and vintage nuances while maintaining a consistent classic voice.
Special Editions Lineup is crafted using unique patterns and rare, authentically sourced vintage 1962 wire. These pickups provide an expansive, wide-open frequency range unmatched by modern wire.
Our Build Philosophy
Art Without Deadlines
We don't just build guitars or pickups. We create unique, functional pieces of Art.
Each project is a deeply personal journey.
We work completely free from the constraints of corporate deadlines to ensure that every micro detail resonates perfectly with the creative vision.
Custom-Formulated Nitro Varnish
Most modern "nitro" coatings are actually polyurethane in disguise. Drawing on my fine-art chemistry experience, I cook my own custom nitrocellulose mix from scratch without plasticizers.
Why it matters: my formula continuously oxidizes and shrinks over time, creating authentic micro cracks. This allows the wood to vibrate freely, unlocking unconstrained resonance and micro-vibrations that polyurethane suffocates.
Master Relicing & Metal Oxidation
Realism in the details.
I have invented a dozen of custom traditional methods to oxidize plastics and metals naturally.
The aging of our varnish isn't just for a beautiful vintage look. it is an essential chemical stage in shaping the acoustic resonance of the entire guitar.
Every 8Bomb guitar features my signature decal label hidden inside the pickup cavity.
Behind the Craft
Beyond the workshop, my deep love for music takes me across Europe performing a variety of instruments. This living blend of fine art, chemistry and live performance fuels the workshop and videos I share with the community.
