The "SOFTER" Side of Mike

[Headroller]

It's not ALL demons and devils. . .



This is a Hand Carved Guitar that Mike is making for our daughter's 5th Birthday.



She designed it herself.

Looks like it would destroy any Daisy Rock, plus it has extreme sentimental value... [img]/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

Re: The \"SOFTER\" Side of Mike

To be honest, I like the demons and the devils better. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]
But I'm about to pick up the mandolin, so I'm not the one to talk... [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: The \"SOFTER\" Side of Mike

Yeah, yeah. Now show the picture of the backside, where there's a 3D carved flaming skull face with all knarly teeth and such, coming out of the center of the sunflower. Your daughter's gonna have nightmares for life from that one. [img]/images/graemlins/nono.gif[/img]

j/k. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Cool stuff from daddy. My daughter's room has handpainted sunflowers in it. Kids are awesome. [img]/images/graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]

Re: The \"SOFTER\" Side of Mike

Thanks guys,
It is a fun little guitar. I can't wait to crank it through the amp. I went with a hot rails pick up. She will be laying down some scorching licks with this baby. AHAHHA. I have to bust it out on stage some night. It plays really well. Working on guitars is a very rewarding occupation. Fortunate to have the time these days to do some more building. I just recently finished up an acoustic archtop based off Bob Benedetto's plans. It will be cool. I am really running out of wall space to hang these creations.

I'll post some shots of my daughter when she gets it for her birthday.

Thanks again for the props.
Mike

I am always willing to help with your wall space problem Mike! Just send me a couple of those "surplus" Rhoads my way [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: The \"SOFTER\" Side of Mike

To be able to create something as such for your daughter must be an awesome sensation.My oldest is beatin on my Warlock and my younger two abuse my ratocaster.As long as they keep their mits off the Jacksons,no one has to sleep with one eye open.....

Cool project,Mike,can't wait to see the colors you throw at it...

I'd love to see pictures of that Mike, from what little I know of guitar building (its something I want to get into some day, but not in the cards right now), the archtop acoustic is pretty difficult to build, and you don't see many of them. This little guitar is awesome!
