Description
This is another work using a quote, this time by Steve Vai; 'God gave the gift of artists so that people can dream while they are awake' To me, it is a particularly meaningful quote, being a dreamer myself. I used a laser cutter on a CAD/CAM system (based on Corel Draw) to cut this out, but the wood was prepared and finished my hand. The lazer cutter usage may mean this section isnt appropriate for it, if it isnt, lt me know and i will move it. THe design was handdrawn, then scanned and outlined in Illustrator, then into Corel Draw for 'printing'edit - better pic, less grainy and a better angle

What guitar did you take to make it? Fender Stratocaster?
Anyway, it's an awesome piece of work.

It's based on Steve Vai's custom guitar - an Ibanez Jem (yes, that is spelt correctly).
I only know because I'm a Steve Vai fan

I was curious about what was written on it when I clicked the thumbnail, I thought it was some digital design, but that's actually a solid piece of wood!
Quite impressive, I think it should be ten times more awesome to get in touch with the wood than to see the deviation here.

Ohhh...I see what you did there!
Brilliant! I used to use a fret saw, doing similar though no where near as elaborate stuff. I can appreciate the transitions through organic (hand drawn), digital (scanning, Draw) mechanical (laser) and back to organic (hand finishing). Great choice of quote too!
Dream on my friend.
