orgmorg Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 That is super cool! Reminds me a bit of Clapton's old SG I love how the flamed maple shows through as a background. The matching case is nice, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanthus Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 (edited) GOTM stands for Guitar of the Month, a contest that we hold every month to vote on handmade guitars. The winner gets their guitar featured on the front page of projectguitar.com and bragging rights By the way, I completely agree in entering this into the competition. It's nothing short of fantastic! Can you give us any information/insight into your methods? Edited August 8, 2008 by Xanthus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you give us any information/insight into your methods? Aha...just don´t forget the guitar is NOT handmade..it´s a Gibson, the adorned work is by me, so there is no misunderstanding there. Well how I do it...I just carve You know I am an artist that work with prints, painting, sculpture and I have taken my skills and my art and brought to guitars. I have been playing guitars since I was round 13 and now i am 38. Round 2002 I started working with linoleum/woodcut and got a telecaster body. I thought that I should test to make the same things on guitars.... I sold it immediately to Austria. The latest work I have been sponsored by the local musicshop, first with a SG that I sold right away and now the Les Paul... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WezV Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 thats not a problem... this is projectguitar.com and yours is truly a project guitar. Its unique, interesting and took a lot of skill - therefore its good for GOTM in my eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Totally. GOTM is guitar of the month, not build of the month....any unique piece which is crafted and worked on to make it something special and...unique... Where are the fret markers, by the way?

riffster Posted August 8, 2008 Report Share Posted August 8, 2008 Kind of reminds me of what an indigenous Aztec would do if he got hold of an LP today. You could of provided some poison blow darts to the luck buyer to protect this baby! Awesome! GOTM! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erikbojerik Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Wonderful work! I am trying to imagine how much weed would be involved.... It just needs an appropriate ring around the humbucker. Carved of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could of provided some poison blow darts to the luck buyer to protect this baby! Awesome! GOTM! I think you have to explain that...you know I´m swedish... sorry, luck should have been "lucky". Also, one of the Aztec's weapons of the era consisted of a long tube and they would blow darts out of it. The darts would be covered in poison. The person or animal shot would fall to the ground as the poison from the darts would take effect. It was a very accurate weapon, unless you sneezed and accidentally shot your friend. Hope that cleared things up a little, I think I got myself carried away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
