Here is the description I included with the photos at the other sites, I am asking $1,500.00
I call it “mythical dream guitar”. It was actually inspired by a dream and features North Coast Native mythical creatures. The guitar has a unique feature. I call this my “headless-head design”. I like headless guitars but I think the majority of players would rather have something on the end of the neck. So I purchased a neck with a blank head stock. I shaped it and used it to anchor the ball end of the strings. The tuners of this headless trem system accept the bare end of the string so this works nicely. The body is basswood with curly maple veneer and a cream binding. The eyes of the figures and truss rod cover are abalone. I used a light stain with a brown edge burst and lots of lacquer for the finish. The upper bout was carved in a stylized Haida design. I tried to give it a little bit of a stressed look. Like it could have been found at an ancient shamans burial site, along with the rest of his ceremonial effects. Although it looks as if they are eating each other, in North coast Native art this commonly symbolizes the sharing of spirits. Electronics are simple, one
humbucker pickup with volume and tone controls. Strings are DR Black Beauties and add a lot to the look of the guitar. This guitar is fully functional but I built it in the hope that someone will add it to their collection. It was created to be displayed. I have learned form this project and plan to do more in this style.
