    Someone gave my son two guitars they no longer wanted. One was a very nice Fender but had been patched on the back. It still sounded great and since no one here plays the guitar and we alredy have one, I sold it to friend of mine who was looking for this exact guitar for her son. Since the patch was very noticable I offered to paint on it to disguise the patch a little. This is how it turned out... Keep in mind we live in the desert. You can still see the patch but not as obvious.

    That looks like something I could hang on my wall. Well done!

    Who'd want to even think of looking for a patch with a beautiful painting like that!!! What a wonderful way to hide a botched repair job.!!! :D

    I'll remember that the next time I hear of a broken guitar (crosses fingers and hopes it won't be mine). I bet Johnny Cash would be drooling over it, I know I am.

    Thanks, you guys are too kind. I am going to be doing some more painting soon and will hopefully get a better shot so you can get an eye full of detail Frank lol. I will paint on just about anything. One of my favorite canvas was ostrich eggs. I still have 5 left to paint on. Right now tho, I am trying to make a diaper bag for my first Grandbaby!! Due Oct 3rd.

    I am looking forward to seeing your guitar and next project close-up. And your ostrich-eggs, too, pretty please?
