An artist at my local art school has painted her guitar a mesmerizing, surrealistic blue with artistic decorations and curly cues. I'm half tempted to have her redo my 'cheapo' guitar. Wish I had a pic to show you.

But the best 'decorated' guitar to my eyes is the one Willie Nelson plays-the one with a hole in the front. Nothing says "I live to play" more than that one.
