Its a stylized version of an Ovation Custom Legend C2079AX. I swear this was my dad's most prized material possession. Possibly Ever. A week from now marks seven years since the last time I saw my dad.
The actual guitar is now on indefinite loan to my Bonus Dad (non-religious Godparent-Type-Person). It sounds too good to sit in a case and he's in the same band that Dad was in. Dad makes his presence felt with a broken string, feedback, or a battery for the internal electronics dying during the closing song of Behind Blue Eyes. Its quite hilarious and all us "groupies" know exactly what is going on.
The tattoo is not quite done yet. It will be shaded with various blues in a starburst pattern. Jonah at Monkey Wrench in Stevens Point does awesome work. More pictures to come.
That's a very sweet tribute to your Dad Fern. Speaking as a Dad myself I know I'd be proud of you. Though I'm personally going to pass. I'm a huge wuss :)
ReplyDeleteI think she only bruised my hand during the process, didn't feel like anything broke...
