Randy Parsons

Randy Parsons (born 1965) 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.

[1][2][3] Parsons uses hand tools and traditional guitar building methods, which he feels makes his work more authentic and personal.

[6] Parsons created a line of high-end electric guitars built from recycled car tires, newspapers, non-endangered woods and ceramics.

Parsons built the Triple Jet III, which is now White's number one guitar.

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.

Parsons built a dark, gothic, hot rod Gretsch prototype that uses dried red sunflower seed petals in the finish.

Its headstock is adorned with intricate scorpion carvings, and the back of the neck is inscribed with secret writings that are only visible under a black light.
