Altered Guitar

I altered an acoustic guitar for a benefit held last weekend. The guitar had a theme of the roots of the blues. There were delta maps, chicago map and hoodoo items/photos. There was even a mojo bag hanging from the neck of the guitar. I included photos of Howlin Wolf, Tommy Johnson, Ma Rainey, Big Mama Thornton, Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Robert Johnson and Charley Patton.

Inside the guitar was a shrine with Charley Patton. Guitar picks spelled blues and hung off the neck of the guitar. A crown was placed on top of the neck and read Blues Rules.

The guitar went for $250.00. I really hated to part with it after all that heart and soul went into it. I
have been asked to do another one for another benefit. I will take better pictures this time. These pics were taken by my friend Amy B. (Thanks!)
