        My mother's uncle Stan was a test pilot in WWII, and flew P-40s. Sadly, he died in a P-40 crash.

        I like the wraparound graphic!

            Man, you knocked this sucker clean out of the park! Absolutely top notch from tip to tail! You've just raised the bar and I'm not sure the competition can keep up! Stunning!

              That has to be one of the best camos I have seen. Great job. The prices on his website are not to bad either.
              Just one more guitar!

                I had a former patient who flew both the P-40 and the P-51. He said that the P-40 was a blast on take-off and pretty nimble in the air. However, he said that landing the P-40 was a crap shoot! He said it was like trying to land a freight train with dragonfly wings. Apparently, they were quite nose heavy.

                    I'm not much for graphics, but that is killer. I especially dig the bullet hole neck inlays.

                      Notice how the "lines" of the headstock match up to the body! Mike, you really did your homework. Now, I just need to quit clicking on this thread!

                        I've ALWAYS wanted to do a guitar up like that... I had an old POS car I was thinking about doing something like that to as well...
