Oops. Almost sent it to my nephew. Needs the NSFW, perhaps?

That's some beautiful work.
On a guitar graphics tip, I like the whacked graphics of the 'Way Out West' guitar from the Gretsch Americana Series.

pretty - i'd really like to see an audrey kawasaki painted guitar, though. she makes truly beautiful (albelit pretty sexualized) things with wood.

Hey, nice. I really love the Kama Sutra guitar not only for the artwork, but also the awesome shape. It reminds me of some of the Teisco/Kingston guitars of the 60s from Jack Westheimer. And I love the Americana series as well, alicesshoe. They remind me of Disney kids' album covers for some reason. This one being one of my favorite album covers of all time.
Anyway, enough rambling. Thanks for the links, mjjj. I'm off to look at more.

Those Luna guitars are not painted ... they are laser-etched. Think laser-etched laptops and MP3 players ...
That results in a very different effect than painting on the surface of the wood, with the potential for impact on sound quality.

Here's more painted guitars worth a look. The artist goes through the steps showing how it some were done. I got some good tips on incorporating gold and silver leaf gilding into a painted design.

Does brilliant inlay work count? If so, William Laskin is your man. (Sadly, only the thumbnails work on his gallery.)
