Started this many many years ago ... Painted by hand by my dad. Bloody good work, I reckon.   |

That is fantastic!
The colour looks close to the Dano copper finish, but the whole front of the guitar is dot-painted isn't it?

Newey: I'll let him know ^_^
Andy: Yeah, man - the whole top is painted with dots.
I am absolutely stoked at the results!

I've noticed a consistent theme for your guitars. Mosaic and snakes.

I've noticed a consistent theme for your guitars. Mosaic and snakes. Yep - the dot-art is my dad's only real avenue of artistic expression. When he was 12 he had his right forearm shot off with a shotgun then sewn back on by the hospital. This meant he could no longer paint, draw, write or play guitar (hey was learning flamenco). I like to get my dad in on my crazy guitar schemes wherever he is able to try and give him back a little of what he lost all those years ago. The snake was just an idea he had for this guitar and I decided it would be a cool theme (Epicifica was built after the Painted Guitar). I am breaking a little bit away from that theme with my tele - it's not going to be painted nor is it getting a snake. I'm having dad burn-in some turtles. If you look closely in the snake, there are some turtles in it. |
