This is the most recent shot uploaded, this is the first layer of oil.  Everything here is just sketched in with a thin layer of oil so that the final layer can be positioned.  The horns have not been touched as of yet, they will be silver and will sparkle.

This was the head of this Dean Guitar before I did anything to it.

This was the head after I gave it an initial sanding so I could see the wood and what I was working with without the hardware.

This is the head after the wood sanding and with a first layer gesso applied.  Final sanding and sketching of the face ideas are starting to be laid in.

This was a rough in for the face done in acrylics.  I went back and forth many times to get the positioning right so that the hardware would interfere as little as possible with the final face.

I have recently been working on this commission project of a custom electric guitar.  I just added some pictures into the gallery of some of the progress.

Though I am on the downhill slide with this work, which I must say I think is one of the best pieces I have ever worked on to date, I still have not decided on a title or name for the piece yet.

I purposely have not uploaded the most recent pictures because I dont want my collector to see the finished work online before experiencing her in person, but I will upload some additional shots as I go…
