Here's the Custom Shop Replica of it at Ed Roman Guitars....

Should spawn some influence... I would think.


that's beautiful! i might do something like that.. but not as girlish

and to PRSplaya, my heritage.. I'm from Kenya, moved to america when i was 5, and i really don't care about the complexity. I've been drawing and painting as long as i can remember. i think the first time i picked up a pencil i was drawing. i can draw and paint really good, and im a better drawer than painter. to give an example of my abilities, if i had a picture of you, i could draw you.

with that in mind, i really dont care about the detail i just want something that looks good. EDIT: i don't really care if its ancient design or something, i just want it to do with nature. like leaves and vines or something. sorta like that hendrix strat.

also, what's that thing you put on paint when you want it to shine?
