Struck Match Studio · Numbers Not Tabs
The guitars
One guitar per episode, built for one song. The finish carries the song's feel and the inlay tells its story at the 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9th and 12th frets — the frets your hand already knows.
None of them is modelled after anyone's guitar. There is no tour instrument here and no famous player's. Each is an original design drawn for its own song, and that is what makes it one of a kind.
Imagined instruments. Each guitar here is an AI-made photograph of a one-of-a-kind guitar, designed for its song. They are not for sale and they do not exist. Every chord, fret and number in the episodes is computed, never generated — AI makes the mood, code makes the truth.

- E7Wish You Were Hereii — the minor chord that leans home.
- E8PerfectThe '50s progression, and a strum you count in threes.
