Schenk Guitars is proud to pioneer the next generation of guitar finishes. Unleashed at the 2006 Newport Guitar Festival, Schenk Guitar's Killer Paint Series has burst open the door to a new world of acoustic guitar experience – limitless creativity in sound, playability and now appearance.

When it comes to applying the finish to a Masterclass instrument, only a Master will do. Mike Lavallee's prestigious work at Killer Paint Airbrush Studios has been sought out by clients such as Ford Motor Company and West Coast Choppers. His artistic genius behind the TRU-FIRE ™ painting technique has rekindled the entire automotive art industry. Currently Mike is showing off his amazing techniques on several TV shows airing on The Discovery Channel, TLC, Outdoor Learning Network, The Outdoor Channel, Speed Channel and others.

" With absolutely no compromise in wood quality, sound, and playability, The Killer Paint Series releases a new dimension of musical expression for the artist and a new experience to the audience. What the guitar vocalizes visually sets the stage for what the artist projects musically."
