Sparrow Guitars say they want to keep with the tradition of customization embodied by "pinstriping": Every guitar in their Vancouver shop is said to be pinstriped and decorated in this fashion.
“I met Billy Bones [President of Sparrow Guitars] through mutual friends. We were both involved in a vintage flat tracking club called ”The Scorpions", racing vintage 350 Hondas. I went to see Billy play a show with his old band, Raised by Wolves. At that time, he approached me about striping guitars. I immediately dug the idea! That was back in 2005" said Myk Roc — Sparrow pinstriper — regarding his introduction to pinstriping guitars with Sparrow.
