I was bored and feeling kind of creative, so I engraved a few pickguards, one for my Les Paul and a spare white pearl one I had laying around, what do you think? Here's the Strat pickguard:

Interesting.

What is that a dog?



Just kidding. It looks like a catfish actually.

Crikey! You gotta like a man who is brave enough to voice controversial views...

Actually, back when Stevie was new on the block I saw pictures of him in the music press. And what with the hat and the white pixie booties I just took for granted that someone who looked that way couldn't have anything to offer.

It was ages before I finally heard some tracks. Then I thought; why didn't anyone tell me about this?

Cheers - C

I couldnt say a bad word about him. His playing is top class. Guitar instrumentals aren't my thing though and a song has to have more than a fantastic guitar to interest me.

Incidentaly i saw a video of him on youtube after searching for some Jerry reed vids. SRV's playing was truely fantastic. His phrasing is to die for.
I feel the same way about billy corgan too, i dont like his stuff but ive plenty of respect and admiration for his playing. Theres a million people that fit into that category with me.

Sure. Here, it's on my BFG, but I decided not to use it. I think it turned out OK, I based it on my tattoo. I need to think of a better way to do this. It's easier on solid color guards, but I need a better way to do it.

Nahh, Czech and English from New Jersey. I've always liked the art, especially the work with ink. I'd rather be playing than looking at art though.
