Hey there's some really great responses, thanks guys!

so it was really the first time we dealt with them on an equal footing- not at war but also not paternalistic.
So a lot of it was being rebellious I guess.Two guitars are better than one.

We should project it too, it's never too lateTwo guitars are better than one.

I know a certain saucy little monkey boy who often ends up with an arsehole that looks like a Rising Sun. It'd make a great graphic on one of his Warriors...So I woke up,rolled over and who was lying next to me? Only Bonnie Langford!

I'm surprised that no one has commented about it yet....
Warren Demartini's Japanese Rising Sun/Bomber graphic was definitely the first Rising Sun ever done circa 1983. All the rest (Lynch Kamikaze etc.) mentioned came later
BTW: To set the record DAMN STRAIGHT...Warren's original Crossed Swords, Bomber and Blood Skull, and the rarely seen Faces (Kabuki masks) Charvel Strats were ALL done by Glenn Matejzel, and Glenn is the one who STILL paints them for Charvel/Jackson under contract at DRL graphics...Dan Lawrence does not do these.
Glenn was also the one to apply the REAL snakeskin to Warrens Python and Anaconda snakeskin guitars back in the day...he still has a swatch from the original application!!
Today, Even the painted 'DeMartini" Snakes are done by Glenn.
EDIT: Oh yeah while were at it...Glenn painted Lynch's original Sub Camo. Not that Dan couldn't paint any of these and HAS done some for GMW but there is so much mis-information on the net about who paints what.Last edited by Hellraiser6502; 05-21-2012, 11:08 PM.Kahler...Killing guitar values DEAD since 1981.

Well, it doesn't help that the artist's name was rarely signed/indicated.I want to depart this world the same way I arrived; screaming and covered in someone else's blood
