Reminds me of van Gogh's painting, Starry Night.

Acoustic ftw. I can't play much (my repertoire: St. Judy's Comet, Blues in A, some exercise, Wish You Were Here) but I love the sound of a nice nylon-stringed classical guitar.

well, it's actually supposed to look like 'starry night', so i'm glad you saw that ^^
i figured we could do it okay. since all we had were paint pens, so i was looking for something that used the 'smeared dot' look, not sure what art fans call it. me and a friend did it in about half an hour.
and yea, not something you'd want to do to an acoustic, or even a really expensive electric, since i don't think this type of paint could be good for resonance.
@ bakemaster - eww, nylon strings.... yea, they sound good, but it feels really weird playing them. if it's gonna be acoustic, it needs steel strings for me ^^

yea, it looks really nice. the only thing that seems odd to me is the bit around the upper left screwhole. it's all curvy where the rest is angular, and catches my eye for some reason.

If you mean Satchmo, he's not a guitarist...

Oh, I see. Never heard him called "Satch" before. "Satchmo", of course, is the great Louis Armstrong.
