Toon that guitar!

The brother of a friend of mine painted this guitar. He was the lead guitarist with a successful blues band called "Howard and the White Boys", and as you can see, he's also quite an accomplished illustrator! Underneath this wacked-out paint job is a vintage Gibson SG -- this is a custom collector's dream, to be sure. I was so knocked out, I had to take some pictures of it:

the front of the body...

the back of the body...

the front of the headstock...

he even painted the back of the headstock!

the back of the neck... OK kids, name all those cartoon characters (answers below)

close up of the body... the detail is really extraordinary...

close up of the Howdy Doody knobs and the Beavis (or is it Butthead?) pickup selector...

(answers to the back-of-the-neck question, top to bottom: Scooby Doo, Porky Pig, Yogi Bear, Super Chicken, Daffy Duck, and Fat Albert... how many of you actually got Super Chicken?!?!?)
