Joe Satriani teams with Artist to produce a brand-new guitar for a Charity Project

-













 The legendary guitarist Joe Satriani and Colorado-based artist David Bonvillain have joined up on a collaborative project to create their third charity guitar. The duo continued the trend they began in 2023 when they donated to Children’s Hospital San Francisco and their second to Guitars4Vets last year. 

This year this charity piece is their most impressive to date. The guitar is a new Ibanez JS2480 that was refinished by Joe and David over several weeks.  The guitar took over 40 hours to finish - this guitar features a striking glow-in-the-dark base, layered with a stunning white galaxy design in fluorescent acrylics. Hand-painted by Joe, both the front and back showcase his artistic touch, all sealed under a durable urethane clear coat. The original sustainer was replaced with a black driver/neck pickup, and the guitar has been set up with Stringjoy 9s for optimal playability. All original Ibanez paperwork and a certificate of authenticity are included with the guitar from Bonvillain Design Studio, personally signed by Joe—who also left his signature inside the spring cavity. The guitar is to be auctioned for charity the week commencing April 14.

 The event is being hosted on Altitude Guitar. Please find the link below - https://altitudeguitar.com/products/satriani-bonvillain-charity-collab-2025


The last day of the auction is April 18th and funds are being 100% donated to Pasadena Humane. https://give.pasadenahumane.org/give/654134/...#!/donation/checkout

Joe Satriani comments on the release;
“I love making these crazy, beautiful guitars with David. His work is stunning. Each guitar we’ve collaborated on has turned out to be special, unique and striking. And, all for a good cause!” - 



 David Bonvillain adds about the release;

“It’s an absolute honour and privilege to create these incredible guitars with Joe. He’s been one of my biggest inspirations since I first picked up a guitar, and now he’s also my favourite collaborator in art! Getting to merge music and visual creativity with him – and then donating these pieces to a great cause – has been an unforgettable experience.” 

Bonvillain Design Studio has finished guitars for some of rock and metal's most notable stars, including that are in the hands of some of the most famous and influential guitarists of all time including Steve Vai, Kerry King, Bob Weir, John Mayer, Yvette Young, Gary Holt, Mark Morton and many others. Bonvillain works with premium manufacturers for limited times, as well as producing a handful of their own builds every year and has recently partnered with Emerald City Guitars to produce previously refinished vintage guitars.

Review: Cry For Mercy-This Machine

  Words by Anselm Anderson The blog continues to discover incredible new bands on British shores, and none are more impressive than the latest LP from the Welsh blues rock trio, Cry For Mercy. The band is set to release "This Machine" on Friday, April 4th. Cry For Mercy also self-funded this 12-track album on their path to recognition. The release showcases the drive and determination of the group through raw emotion and thought-provoking storytelling. They have been described as "Classic 70's fused blues rock" with a modern sound. I  agree with that sentiment as the trio blend soul, blues, and 70s rock with a strong guitar-driven edge. Their warm and compelling vocals are soulful and evoke comparisons to Paul Rodgers and David Coverdale. Formed in 2008, the trio consisting of vocalist Kev Plant, his son and drummer Aled, and guitarist Andy Cutty has emerged as a significant force in the UK underground rock scene. They have captivated audiences with their live...
