A LUNA for a LEFTY

[Great Ape]

My good friend, studio owner, master producer, and musician extraordinaire (guitar, keyboards, bass, drums, lap steel--you name it) is left handed and has been playing right handed guitars upside down most of his life, so I thought I'd make him a lefty Tele (do you know how awkward it is ti play a Tele upside down?!). Quilt maple on swamp ash, forearm contour, tummy cut, contoured heel, 2 p-90's, and a vibrato bridge...and a little bit of burning...

I love the perception of depth on the moth, it looks like it is carved into the surface. Very nice as always!

 

[Cagey]

Nice design! Stellar work! I'm loving it!

 

[Slackjaw]

Just when I thought your work couldn't get any better... outstanding!  ccasion14:

Amazing, and I agree the moth looks 3D.

Great work.

 

[Great Ape]

...and a bit of color...

 

[bagman67]

Awesome job, Greg.  That turquoise lozenge looks amazing.

Great as always, your guitars are work of art. If you had joined the site a few years back I would have been a customer already but now I have too many guitars for my needs.

...He sees nothing 'til it's done...''arse about'', huh? Hadn't thought of it quite like that, but I am enjoying the terminology. Good to hear from you, Murray...

 

[Rob]

Very cool!!!

 

[Phaedrus]

simply amazing

 

[PeteNelson]

That is incredible. How/where did you learn to do the wood burning effect like that? I'm just blown away by the beautiful artwork/guitars I see on this site!

 

[DangerousR6]

Very cool as usual, although I don't get the connection between a scorpion-beetle hybrid a set of bird feathers and a moth. But it's colorful... :kewlpics:

It's mammalian discrimination, is what it is. You got insects, arachnids, birds... where are the mammals? There should be a cat on there. A muscular Siamese with a bad attitude named "Chiang"  would sell.
