Thanks Ray - I don't like to build wall-hangers, but I made an exception for this one!  I like how it turned out.  (anon pic) - Yep - a good old rusty barbed-wire fence a friend dug up for me out in her woods.  "If the barbs don't get ya, the tetanus will!"

That's a bad-ass guitar you got there, Rev!

 That's pretty funny, Pick. I bet things were awkward after that.

Yikes, pick!  Great story!  (The neck with chainsaw looks like it could be as uncomfortable to play as my barbed-wire strung gitty!)

Actually it kinda did once . True story , I was working on a Texas chainsaw  massacre theme guitar once  and had a butchers apron as the  guitar strap . with blood (red paint splatter ) on it and  bloody hooks as the  strap endpins . I had hung it on my cloths-line to dry , and some passerbyer saw it and  was concerned,  and called the cops . lol.

I was looking for a picture of him building a bomb , but the guys in the black suv  showed up at my door (again) as soon as I typed it in , so I had some splainin to do ,, and some bribes ,  so this  post cost me a case of scotch and 2 guitars . ;-/
