Its a good thing Mike is painting lots of guitars for NAMM, now I'm so confused about which one I want first so I won't be buying anything

[Learn Guitars]

HAPPY HOLIDAYS ALL!!!

Simply incredible work!!
How I enjoy watching these masterpieces.

Mike (or Diana), do you work with other guitar brands (else than Charvel/Jackson and Learn Guitars)?
I can't remember other guitars being customized by you?
Which Jackson model do you enjoy the more to paint (Kelly, Warrior, Soloist...)?

I read on another forum that you were done with Jackson, but apparently this is not the case?

And as I found in the gallery of your website (http://learnairbrush.com/gallery/sho...00&ppuser=1689 or http://www.lucboivin.com/Pages_galer...itarepinup.htm), what do you think of Luc Boivin's work on this guitar? Are you interested to do some realistic stuff?

Keep posting on this forum, we all enjoy it as not all of us will have the chance to go to NAMM!!

I do not work with any other brands as this time. I do paint the guitars I build obviously. I am happy to be doing work with Jackson at this time. Things have been picking up. At one point in time, things were put on a halt in order for the factory to catch up with their custom order obligations. There were a few coming my way at that time, but not much. I am looking forward to getting things back up to speed. I have no preference on body style to paint.

Most of my work focuses on not copying photographs. I love to paint the world that exists in my imagination. But photo realism isnt a problem. I sometimes find it boring myself. Not that I dont appreciate it or don't want to do it, but I prefer not to infringe on others images to produce art. Luc does fantastic work.

Some great work here. Can't wait to see what shows up at NAMM this year. I have the itch to order another custom shop but haven't decided on what yet.

Matt,
It takes me between 6 and 10 hours for something like this. I have to prep and also clear them as well. That takes more time. There will be a wide range of time invested in these projects. Thanks to everyone for the props.

****** Funny..i would have figured 300 hours! Amazing to "see" it before you even start? Thats talent !

[Robert Burns]

Today's offering is a zombi-fied Uncle Sam.. Name TBD

********* One things for sure...no one will ever change that PUP cover!
All of em are simply stunning!

[ABSOLUT CHARVEL]

Mike, it is a good thing that it is you that was blessed with amazing talent, and not me. if i had your skill, all the guitars would have chicks with big boobies painted on them.

[Stinkbug]

Wow those are all amazing. The uncle sam one would have been perfect for a friend of mine when he was in a band called "Sam the Butcher".

HEHEHE..... I feel your pain.

This batch of guitars is boxed and on its way back to Jackson!!.. There is still one more NAMM guitar that has not arrived here yet... hopefully these will all make it to the show!!

Here are the final shots ... from here... they get a final clear and buff at the factory before they are assembled.

Damn... Damn...

That is some mighty fine work there. I'm drooling all over the keyboard here...

I need a mop over here!!!

Killer work Mike.... Are you going to be taking a Mojo Body with you to NAMM?
