Karl Sandoval is a luthier. He is best known for custom-making a polka-dot finished guitar for Randy Rhoads, in the style of a Gibson Flying V,^[1] in addition to his work for Eddie Van Halen^{[citation needed]} and George Lynch^{[citation needed]} during the 1980s.

Sandoval started in the guitar business by working at Fender in the 1970s. He then moved on to working at Charvel’s Guitar Custom Shop in Covina, California, where luthier Wayne Charvel taught Sandoval the basics of guitar repair and creation. He started his own business repairing guitars in 1979 and is still in business today, building custom amplifiers in addition to building and repairing guitars.
