Ewwwwwwwww!!!! Looks like a tribute to a "Grand Funk Railroad Roadie" Isn't that the Glenn Frey guitar? Even cheesier, is the obvious herculean amount of effort that went into this draining pustule & abomination. Thanks, Christian

He apparently knows a few so-called "celebrities", and "used to live across the canyon from Steve Martin". Check out the Steve Martin banjo.

Steve is a contemporary art collector with fairly sophisticated taste in things. I wonder where he stashed this abomination.

hmm...'carverdoug' needs a bit more practice on bars of soap before attacking lovely chunks of wood...

The thing I noticed right away is the similarity between the distance from nose to upper lip and the length of the nose itself...that doesn't happen on very many human faces.

Also...picture playing this thing: your right forearm would be covering 'John's face' the entire time. What an elaborate 'tribute'...why not a slotted nostril for spare 'pick' storage?

I'd Rather store my picks on the "Britney Spears on a Strad" model

OK, that's Britney 2 (or 3, if you include Aitch) and JL 0.

Not John's fault, though. His image was appropriated for nefarious purposes.

"Britney Spears on a Strad"
In her case that's probably short for Straddlecaster.

He seems to do the "Sword and Sorcery" type stuff OK but any time he has to carve a likeness he doesn't really get there.

Dragon scales, flames, flowers; OK. Jerry Garcia, John Lennon and Jimi Hendrix; not so much.

And the Wangcaster must be for the irony-impaired.

Is Yoko on the back (wearing the buckle-rash)?

He's a real Californny-type. Lots of them guys here in SF. Sorta living in a part-fantasy, part-real world, and definitely more in tune with the fantasy.

Dragons are easy to copy from a book; who's gonna say the nose is too long? But portraits take a certain natural gift, and of course this guy's missing a few sandwiches in his picnic basket.

His Wangcaster would make a better "man"-dolin.
