<p>Hello everybody,</p>
<p>This cbg is painted by a friend of mine. In the first pic you can see the smoke turns into a skeleton playing a cbg. We wanted it to be hard to see unless you look for it.</p>
<p>Abalone inlays, skull volume knob, skull keys.</p>
<p>I don't think it is near as creative as the other ones on here but I thought I would show it to you.</p>
<p>All you guys amaze me with your creativity.…</p>

<p>Here is my Halloween entry. This is my first attempt at painting the neck and fretboard. It came out nice after the third fix. When they say 'fully cured in 24 hrs.' they really mean 'wait 3 days and apply a spray poly before setting it down or you'll just have to do it again'.</p>

<p>I built this last year when the SF Giants won the World Series. I thought about slapping on a Giants sticker and selling it on Craigslist for big bucks (black and orange or the Giants colors) but my wife said no dice. She loves Halloween so it's now part of our yearly decorations. Great idea for a contest. Thanks!</p>
