Blandini Black Ice Mk1

A Surreal Experience

When I was in my early 20's, one of the bands I liked was Slaughter. They got tons of play on MTV, when they actually played music videos. As I drove home from Ohio Bike Week, it started to set in finally, I just spent the day with the band. From first introductions, to sound checks, to watching their show from just off to the side of the stage and finally post show relaxing and chilling out. I thought to myself, when I wake up in the morning this will all have had to have been a dream, but such a great dream. If someone would have told me 3 months ago that I would have had this chance, I would have told them to lay off what ever drug they were on. Yet here were were, my wife Tammy and I, driving home after a long and exciting day.


Currently, as of this writing, his guitar is sitting in my shop. Awaiting some final minor modifications to make it 100% for Jeff to take full possession of. Sitting on the bench with it, blue prints and templates of Jeff's Charlie Mike Guitars Blandini Black Ice Signature Model. This will be built to his vision, by us at Charlie Mike Guitars and reMarkable Finishes.


I hope you follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Youtube, you will get first notice of everything.


Thanks everyone,


Doug, Tammy and Paul
