Description
Karl Sandoval is a luthier who is best known for custom-making a polka-dot finished guitar for Randy Rhoads, in the style of a Gibson Flying V - in addition to his work for Eddie Van Halen and George Lynch during the 1980s.
Sandoval started in the guitar business by working at Fender in the 1970s. He then moved on to working at Charvel’s Guitar Custom Shop in Covina, California, where luthier Wayne Charvel taught Sandoval the basics of guitar repair and creation. He started his own business repairing guitars in 1979 and is still in business today, building custom amplifiers in addition to building and repairing guitars.
This artwork based on a genius photo by rock photographer Keenan Neighbors with his kind permission. He has captured some stunning photos of many of the rock legends, featured in their prime.
