Hallmark Hounds tooth

Postby Bob Shade » Fri Mar 30, 2012 10:48 am

We got a request from a customer about a custom hounds tooth model. I was not sure what it would look like until it was completed, but I think it came out looking very 60's and cool. I remember hounds tooth as a scarf my Dad may have had when I was young or to that effect. Anyway, enjoy, and remember, if you want it, we can do it. Polka dots? Zebra? Flames? Space? Checkerboard............your imagination here, inquiries welcome.

If the owner jumps around a lot on stage, this could easily make the audience dizzy! Looks great sitting still though! :mrgreen:

Great work, Bob! Cool, yet sophisticated. Nice appointments without excess.
A Scottish twist. I hear a song in the making... ;)

Thanks guys! All I did was what the customer wanted, he deserves the cred for the Hounds Tooth design.

Scottish? Why didn't I think of that? Show your heritage.

Perhaps the owner of a Macintosh Inn would like a H60C with their carpet design on the guitar. We can do band logo's, personal messages and so on. This is custom painting, not stickers. Racing stripes with numbers, spider web, broken window, mag wheel, flag, tattoo art, sports team logo............just thinking out loud. The good thing about making guards and pickups with artwork is you can always have a plain set too and it costs much less and is less painful than having a tattoo removed.

You don't feel any lines under the clear coat and it looks pretty fantastic.

Hey--

I tried talking Bob into offering Scottish tartans as a custom-paint option! In this area, there are a ton of bands doing Celtic music and/or playing in Irish pubs, so there might be a market for such an option.

Jim, with all the time you have on your hands, I think you could make this happen.

I will give you an allowance to go to the Irish pubs and get patrons sloshed while drumming up sales.

Favorite beer logo on the pickups??

Hey, Bob--

You never know; that idea might just take off!!!

The Guinness Hallmark; the Yuengling Hallmark; I can see them now in my over-heated imagination!
