Master Artisan Collection: Rickie Hinrichsen 

In his tenth year at Gibson, we are proud to introduce a line of one-of-a-kind instruments from our own Rickie Hinrichsen as a part of the Master Artisan Collection. Each design is hand-drawn and skillfully hand-carved by Rickie using Custom Shop guitars and even a MESA/Boogie amplifier.
Meet the Master - Rick “Rickie” Hinrichsen started his career at Gibson, first as a binder, then in white wood and setup in the Nashville craftory. One day, an opportunity presented itself to hand-carve a paisley design on a guitar, and Rickie knew he was up to the challenge. Though having no formal experience in hand carving wood but deep experience in hand drawing and visual arts, he took the guitar home, bought three chisels, and got to work. He soon discovered that if he could draw it, he could carve it. After six months of meticulous work, Rickie completed his first piece. Recognizing he possessed a unique talent, he was offered a position as the Gibson Custom Shop’s in-house artisan. As Rickie says, “They just let me run wild, and the ideas are still coming.”
We are so excited to introduce this beautiful collection: Winged Heart, Porcelain Song, Red Sands, Crossroads, and Joyful Country Wildflowers (paired with a MESA/Boogie California Tweed “Canvas”). Their beauty goes beyond visual appeal, and each is a fully playable musical instrument with the exceptional sound quality and playability that are the hallmarks of Gibson Custom Shop guitars and MESA/Boogie amplifiers.
