I finally finished up a guitar with a pair of Shane's Bigsby repro pickups. They're really nice. The guitar is chambered sapele with a padauk top. That's what I had in the shop...

Anyway, I put my version of Paul Bigsby's face on the peghead. I'm a good example of why some tattoo artists refuse to do portraits!.
