A couple of other notable and unique paint designs I've seen recently include this 2019 Fender Custom Shop 1954 Flower Power Telecaster. crafted by master builder Greg Fessler ahand-painted flowers Madison Roy. I've occasionally seen floral decorations on lap steels but it's fairly uncommon.

"Gladys" - custom painted for Bobby Whitlock by Louis Yanez in 2011.

I’ve been drooling over those Creston guitars and lap steels for a few years. I absolutely love the look of these! Thanks for sharing the others!

I believe it's a tribute to Whitlock's grandmother

I'm a big fan of Sarah Ryan's work. From time-to-time I've been tempted to order a Creston guitar and request art inspired by an old National tricone engraving. I wouldn't mind Sarah Ryan's take on this . . .
