PG's Shawn Hammond is On Location at the 2010 NY Amp Show where he visits the Cavey's Creations room. In this segment, we get to check out some of Cavey's (Matt Blake) Creations that include custom guitars and basses.

The new company showed off two basses and one guitar. Matt "Cavey" Blake says he gets most of his design ideas from his other passion in life—hot rod cars. The guitar model is called Nailed is a 25.5" scale with an all maple body and neck with a paudak and yellow heart fretboard. It has a unique neck design in that Blake describes as "not a neck-thru and not a bolt-on, it's my version of both—it really seems to work." The Low Rider bass has Nordstrand pickups and is built on a 35" scale. Matt also built the guitar stand holding Cavey's Creations.

Cavey's Creations neck design uses two different pieces of solid wood for the fretboard and neck, which is also connected to wood surrounding the pickups.

Cavey on 08/01/2010	Thanks Phil I put trim rings on the pickups of production guitars. The bass has the scoop for looks and it makes a nice thumb rest and it dose play great, it's sassafrass, it's lighter the swamp ash.
Phil Nord 2nd on 07/31/2010	who cares what brand the pickups say they sounded nice but why not shape the insert better and how the hell do you every service the pickups? is that whole ugly chuck really all glued down? (back routed access?) digging the whole kubicki open D stuff wish more builder would do that. Wonder what reasoning for the whole scoop is? Looks cool and probably plays nice. But Why? Purpose? Isn't that last bass just good ol' swamp ash?
Cavey on 07/31/2010	Yes GFS I wanted to test the guitar design with a inexpencive pickup and they sound great. This guitar has alot of sound in it
Mikeyman on 07/30/2010	Nice!
