We recently had the pleasure of photographing a one of a kind guitar from our friend Daniel Martin. It is the Clifftone DM-1 Mona Parsons.
The guitar was built by Brent Clifford, here is a write up by Daniel on this incredibly beautiful guitar.
Daniel has been taking music seriously since 2015. In that time, he has recorded with Lita Ford in Los Angeles, taken guitar lessons from multiple alumni of Guns N Roses, and opened up for the Gene Simmons band.
He currently performs with Daniel Martin & The Infamous, as well as composes for an upcoming TV series called Rutherford Manor.
The logo on the 12th fret came to him in a dream in 2011 - he drew it in a notepad and left it for several years until he decided with the newly formed Infamous that he wanted a unique logo. His first prerogative: "to have a simple, memorable logo that could be spray-painted in ten seconds or less".
Last year, Daniel Martin & The Infamous teamed up with Brent Clifford of Clifftone Guitars to create the Clifftone DM-1 - a beautiful one-of-a-kind instrument and the first custom Infamous guitar. Its craftsmanship and artistic ingenuity is matched only by its sound.
As part of a series that Daniel wants to start, he's naming the guitar after someone whose story deserves to be told more - after Mona Parsons, an actress turned war hero who fought the Nazis as part of the Dutch Resistance in WWII (pictured last).
Mona loved music and we think she'd love the guitar. Daniel and the rest of the band are gearing up for their first full-length album release, and they couldn't be happier about it.
