I had the chance and the pleasure to meet the Scorpions last year and Matthias this year.
I make 1/4 scaled miniature guitars, really highly detailed replicas. As you'll see on the photos, I'm able to make all kind of guitars from Matthias, Rudolph, Klaus and Pawel. Enjoy :D
More pics on my website

I'll start with Matthias and his Explorer 90. We met again during the last Musik Messe and we took a photo togethe. He handled my Galaxy miniature and I handled his own Galaxy guitar.

Thierry, what are they made of? Superb and impressive collection!! I wonder if you could sell them to the fans. What would be so very cool, if you were to get MJ to buy them from you and he signs them and turns around and sells them to US thru MJ Guitars!! ha Aw who am I kidding? Never mind. :mrgreen:

ORRRR YOU COULD SELL THEM TO A GUITAR MAG OR SOMEONE LIKE THAT???

First, I asked to Matthias to release "officially" as a limited edition with a signed certificat of authenticity. Unfortunately it didn't work. I'm not a major company, just a crazy craftman who love to do miniature, I can't make a lot of guitars and waiting for the sale and get paid. And I can make all the different guitars used by Matthias, Rudolf, Pawel, Klaus, etc...
The scale is 1/4, means 11" lenght. I made all the part by myself, it's strickly the same thing and the same details as the originals. It takes time to do it and there's a cost. It's not 20 $ as you can find on ebay with the poor quality miniatures made in Taiwan. Each guitar is unique and I made them in a little frame. So, if you want a special guitar, the best is to contact me by PM and I'll tell you.

Klaus's guitar and Pawel's bass will be ready for the beginning of August.

Ya know, you inadvertantly answered one of the things going thru my mind and that was the Ebay minis on there. So you are saying that you make these minis out of the same wood and such as MJ's? :shock:
Also, I am sorry you didn't get the release from the axeman like you wanted, but that's how he is. Believe me, I did his MJ Guitar's fan-based promo for almost 4 years. :lol: :P Sorry, just having a bit of fun on his behalf. He's quite the funnyman and knows I kid alot too. :wink:
I can imagine how difficult it must be to make exact replicas of the guitars of famous guitarists, but there must be some way to get your craft out to the world....like Musician's Friend or sthg. Or writing the mags about them and emphasizing that they are exact and not the cheapies on Ebay, etc. Just a thot. How long does it take to make one? I am sorry for all the questions and suggestions, I just find what you do extremely beautiful and talented and impressive. You should be compensated somehow for them other than a pat on the head!!! just sayin..... :wink:
Hey do you do drums? Maybe do James' drum kit next. ha just kidding
Well Thierry, I hope somehow you can make some money from these beauts. Rawk on!!!!

So, I made Klaus's guitar and Pawel's bass and I had the pleasure to meet them again last friday. The organization of the festival was a big mess and I saw Klaus very shortly but he was very very kind, just before the show

Wow, those are so cool! You did so good with every little detail! If those were for sale, I'd definitely buy some. But of course, that's up to you...

I just create a Facebook for my miniatures guitars https://www.facebook.com/pages/My-Littl ... 0104602691
Please share it with your friends. I’m still proposing making highly detailed miniature guitars and basses guitars. This page will be often updated, a lot of stuff to show.

Thierry, I was highly impressed with your last creations and am equally impressed with these new ones. You are a superb craftsman. I have over 1700 people, mostly musicians and guitar players since I used to do Matthias' Official FB MJ Guitars page. So I still have all those people, even tho Stefan, his manager, now does his page. Anyway, I said that to say that I will do whatever I can to promote your new FB page regarding your guitars. Who knows, you may just get someone like Andreas Kisser to commission you. Who knows.... :P
BTW, I also have a Twitter page and just recently Roger Waters asked to Follow me.... :mrgreen:

Thanks a lot :D I always try to do my best, make the new miniatures more accurate than the previous ones. And I hope to be commissionned by some famous artist to make a limited edition of his instrument. But keep an eye on my Facebook page, some surprises will come soon. ;)
