    Looks great!!! What finish is on the metal? From the picture it lookes like a powder coat on the neck but soem areas on the face look like they have bare metal from grinder marks as part of the design.
    Build it, wheel it, break it, fix it, and repeat!!!!!!!

    The whole sculpture has the grinder marks as part of the design, the finish is black chrome powder coat, when you look at it in bright light you can see the design left by the grinder and when you look at it in low light it has a dark Smokey finish that looks like tinted windows, different lighting gives it different looks.

    That is really a work of art.
    Looking on your web site I think some of the colors you use in your art work are pretty cool.
    Do you have more pictures to share of the guitar showing it from different angles.
    Just wondering if you were an artist or a metal worker first, or both.
    Consistency is a good thing....unless you're consistently an idiot.
