Money. Thats why.
Had a client in Denmark that always wanted one of these. So he came to me and I delivered.
Lottsa work but lottsa fun too.

Magnus you dog! I didn't know you visited this house. Cool beans bro.
Yeah, your right. Thats an old portrait of Orville. The customer wanted me to try and keep it in tact. This Gibby was a real mess when I got her. But she'll rock soon.

Thanks Janet! Sorry I dont visit much here anymore. Just too darn busy. Once in a while, when I need a ego boost, I 'll post some of my junk.
Now, about the bondage stuff.......

Me neither. I think the striping is cool and all, but can't really imagine anyone other than Ed playing one (guitar striped like that) in public unless maybe if you're doing some sort of VH tribute...

of the stripes, though, the black and yellow is my fave...

It is just to closely identified with VH. I would never play a guitar like that. And if you play in a tribute band.... well, don't get me started on that one.
