Home-made axe!

I posted a thread elsewhere asking about the origin of the nickname 'axe' for guitar. Got some interesting replies, so I thought I'd have a go at making my own.

Here are the ingredients and the finished product. I believe this to be cutting-edge!

Done already... E.g. Gene Simmons, bass player of the Kiss has one...

I searched the web and found a few images... Not so hi-res, though...

That is really awesome. For petes sake, dont dig that into your thigh when you do solo's. OWWW! Your right it is cutting edge,


Now when I talk to God he said he'd understand, Stick by me I'll be your guiding hand. But don't ask me what I think of you. I might not give the answer you want me to.
