Really left an impression, eh?

No, I have a mental block for remembering names... Er, who are you again?

I didn't know if it was an official tribute done in house or by another artist...Mr. Miles does amazing amazing work....you guys are lucky to have him.

Yes he does. Have I shown you my Ferrari guitar?

Big Hands, you know you're the one.

Big Hands, you know you're the one.

Nope! I cannot take credit for Bud's work. I can only be accused of being the messenger

I like the simplicity. Traditional Metal Model stripes are a "can't lose" decision.

I also like how he didn't just go for the white and blue combo. The fade to gold is clean.

Beautiful!

OK...who's is it?!?!?!

I figured it was you, Bob. Didn't you say that you were considering one more?

DirtyBob, I want to paint my car in the colors used on our guitar. Can you be so kind to tell me what paint you used? In some pics it appears the middle of the guitar is white pearl and others it appears to be silver metalflake. Did you use a coarser grade flake on the outside edge.

I have an old 1970's Mustang show and want to do a 1970's style paint job on it. Thanks
