Tasty Licks

This work of art was the centerpiece for a Guitars toast at the publisher’s offices. It’s an amazing piece of baking: a double-thick layer cake (from scratch!), iced with mahogany-colored frosting, and decorated with meticulous attention to detail. An edible photo of the author graces the soundhole; took it home for the kids to eat. (No Oedipal references, thank you very much.) But check out the “dots” that serve as bridge posts, the spaghetti strings, the licorice tuning posts, and, most imaginative, tuning pegs fashioned out of softened Tootsie Rolls. All made by hand by Carolan Workman. And you know what, it was DELICIOUS.

THANK YOU!

Found this great little book at B&N, love it!
Did I miss any B.C Rich guitars?
I recommend a visit to EdRoman.com, to see just how unique and special a guitar can really be.
Cheers!
