Sweet. Looks Classic.

For your consideration.....the "Black Meriah"

True to her name, Mariah comes to the party with a black Harley style plate; black piezo bar pick up;

black 5/16" bolt bridge; black mandolin tail piece; even black tuners.

Not for the faint of heart, this axe will glide from Chicago style blues to Pigeon Creek Shuffle

with ease.  Play her with power and authority and she'll reward you...but anything less and 

she'll bite!  

Finished......I need a beer!

very cool

yup

Halloween VooDoo Mojo Bone !!!

I call this guitar" The Punisher" The body is a cookie tin with a mylar center, I added the punisher pic on the inside. The guitar is all oak. The oak finger board I added in mother of pearl skulls. The tuning pegs chrome skulls. I finished it with tung oil and canuba wax. It has a great banjo sound to it and surprising amount of volume. great player! It wasn't clear where you enter the contest, hope this is the spot.

Coool, how's it sound? Also, that is one crazy Bass behind you! I am also wondering how it sounds. Any sound samples?

The punisher sounds much like a banjo and the bass a very deep heavy metal  sound to it. I'll try and get some samples this weekend. thanks all.

some sound samples, recodred on an ipad so not the best quality

Since I'm a judge, I can't enter.  However, I was inspired by you all this week and created this monster:

When are you releasing your cover album of Damned songs played on CBG? I wants one!
