At least the biker has good taste.

Wow. I think I'm gonna paint a Harley on my Rickenbacker.

That is REALLY well done! Is that a 360/12 in DG?
Great find, Paul...

A biker friend clued me in. The neck is on the tank, but what is the body painted on? It's not a seat or a rear seat. Is this a cargo carrier for the back of a trike, maybe? Hmm.

That's quite amazing, really -and so out of place. The guitar looks great but I don't understand the lightning. At least it's emanating from the money frets!

Did he get permission from RIC to do that? Does he NEED permission from RIC to do that?
