Amazing.....but really......don't you think these guys need to GET OUT MORE!

Simon · 04-23-08, 07:17 PM

What ? that they've committed to be the best they can be at something makes them sad somehow? And who's to say they don't 'get out'...

Its one thing to listen to and be influenced by and replicate your predecessors,
its another PLANET involved here, to be devastatingly original and truly innovative .
They will always look ordinary compared to Jimi .

If you've ever had the chance to read ( or in some instances, ask ) the opinions of Page, Clapton , John Le , and of more recent vintage, John Squire etc, they will tell you the same.

Ok, the guy can play , but so can thousands. Aren't they just studying and copying technique ? Soon pc's will outplay them. Queue at Walmart please.

How about this special painted one.
I've only yet 3 painted.
No video, just cool pics.

Yeah i'm currently learning Cannon.. and well, i'm not bad on the guitar but it's a tad difficult!!
But i'll get there.... any excuse to pick up my PRS

I LOVE GT40- Paolo · 04-24-08, 01:47 PM

bravissimo Tjello, too nice work!

Some customers here asked me for similar airbrush works, but I never accepted cause really no idea of the value for a similar work.

Ian K · 04-24-08, 02:45 PM

I won't disagree with the like of Jimi, Clapton, etc. being still the icons to
compare to - as well as Eddie. But, it takes some skill to master what these
kids are doing. And, that skill at such a young age, can really lead to
greatness. Not true in all cases, but ...

I myself haven't really picked up my guitar in ages, so I am a little in awe
with these guys, but also know what I would be like if I had that kind of
free time. I also hope to actually build a few guitars of my own some day.

To Paolo,

it's difficult to put a price-tag on it.
It varies from 500,- up to 1000 euro's. It's different than airbrush on canvas or helmets even. Musicians have high standards, and working with guitars is a whole different (and difficult) kind of job. Preparing (like sanding) is crucial, even as the prayed layers. Then clearcoat, sanding, clearcoat, sanding etc. And important... polishing. I have a working realationship with LondonCity guitars and a Ibanez guitar builder/technisian (worked with Vai). They give me tips.
It's hard work... but so beautyfull when it's done.
