neg: Randy Parsons Randy Parsons is an American luthier whose client list includes Jack White , Jimmy Page , Sammy Hagar , Death Cab for Cutie , Peter Frampton , Joe Perry , and Modest Mouse .   Parsons has a reputation for using hand tools and traditional methods of guitar building in order to make his work more authentic and personal . His approach is to treat each new guitar like it 's a one-of-a-kind sculpture , and he embraces construction techniques used in the '50s , '60s and '70s . He does not use newer technologies such as CNC machines , plek and fret machines . He is also known for using atypical items in his guitars , such as bones , skulls and other organic materials . Parsons created a line of high-end electric guitars built from recycled car tires , newspapers , non-endangered woods and ceramics .   Parsons creates unique finishes and treatments on his guitars . Parsons used peach colored rose petals that were dried in books and painstakingly applied to the guitar body for the model known as Peach Thief , which was built for singer/songwriter Karen Elson .   Despite starting with no training as a luthier , he has built a business with five different shops . Until 2013 he worked out of his main shop in Seattle , which was run by five women , three of whom are luthiers . In August 2013 , Parsons moved with his main shop to Ventura , California .   Parsons has made 5 guitars for Jack White . White hired Parsons to have a custom Gretsch guitar made rather than working directly with the Gretsch Guitar Company . White wanted the color of the guitar to be copper for the Raconteurs . White 's ideas were integrated into the guitar which would be known as the Triple Jet . The original guitar was painted a copper color . Parsons later suggested using a real copper top . Parsons built the Triple Jet III , which is now White 's number one guitar .   Parsons and White are featured in the documentary `` It Might Get Loud , '' directed by Davis Guggenheim . A modified Gretsch Anniversary Jr. production model is introduced in the movie , which represents an interesting collaboration between White as a creative musician , and Parsons as a guitar builder .
