one of the projects i was working on this summer -
everything in my room tends to get sharpied on if it stays in there long enough. :D
(it's not completely done yet, i have to touch up a couple places. and i'm still debating whether i should cover the entire body.)

...though if i'd spent my time practicing guitar instead of drawing on it, i would probably be able to actually play by now :/

Seeing things like this really humbles me. Perhaps even more than trying to be modest with my own work. It's good to know that if I continue practicing like I am currently I could one day make my detailing like this. I have great eye for small detail, but this just has a certain something I don't yet. what kind of pens do you use? I'd love to put do this on my guitar, but it's near mint and from 1966 so I'm hesitant to cover it in ink. Maybe in the hands of someone like you however...

Wow, thank you so much. I'm really glad you liked it! :D

As for the pen, I used just normal Sharpie. I actually wouldn't recommend that, because for a while it smudged if you get even a little water on it (it seems ok now, but I haven't played it in a very long time). I think there are people who do this kind of decoration thing for real though - they use varnish I think. In any case I am not the one to ask about the best pen type, so I am sorry about that :P

Beautiful work, as always.

I don't think you should cover the whole body. I like how fresh it looks with some of the wood showing. Otherwise it'd look WAY too busy.
