Subject: RE: Folklore: Decorated instruments
My youngest, as a five year old, designed and painted (with a little assistance from me) a setting sun on my fretted bass, with sparkle nail polish and various colours of Tremclad. That bass was intended as a prototype but I've never had the heart to replace it. It generates a lot of questions.

My favourite and oldest guitar strap has several strands of braided wool hanging from it, a gift from my eldest.

Three of my guitars have personalized inlay, but nothing as seminal as Seeger or Guthrie. Maybe someday...

They are tough acts to follow!

Peace, Mooh.
