Music Saves Lives Gibson Guitar Project - Beware of Friends by Josh Kenyon signed by Bad Religion

"Beware of Friends" by Josh Kenyon signed by Bad Religion
This inspiration for this guitar came from the eclectic style of vintage guitars. Conceptually, the inspiration goes deeper; the fish have been mislead to a dangerous trap of piercing arrows that are penetrating their safe underwater haven. Pen & acrylic on wood.

Specs
Resurrecting one of the most popular guitars in Gibson's history, the Melody Maker is an accurate, affordable recreation of the original Melody Makers of the late 1950s. Originally introduced as a student model, much like the Les Paul Junior, the Melody Maker became a player's favorite for its light weight, comfortable neck, and great tone. Today's Melody Maker is no exception. With a period-correct pickguard housing a special design singlecoil pickup, a vintage-style wraparound tailpiece, rounded neck profile, and slim, light body, the Melody Maker is an unbelievable value for players of all ages, styles, and skill levels.
