This is actually the 5th nucleus model we have done. Built to the same basic model specs as my other nuclei. However, this one was built almost entirely by Steve Sells and boasts a few of his own modifications. The materials, adornments, and hardware were chosen by Steve. For those of you who do not know Steve, he has been my assistant luthier since my very first custom order many years ago. Special “SS” logo and custom stonework throughout.

Learn MoreThe “Chinook” Lord of the mountain wind. The Chinook is an embodyment of the mischievious Chinese wind-god, “Fei Lian”. The early springtime winds in Colorado, the home of Blindworm Guitars, are called Chinook winds. Like the winds of Fei Lian, the Chinook winds cause havoc, knocking over buildings, breaking tree limbs, and causing chaos. The design of the “Chinook” incorporates both the traditional depiction of Fei Lian himself, as well as angular spirals representing both the wind and its power.
