This is the first instrument I've worked on that wasn't mine. It's a modified Vineyard acoustic guitar, and it's for sale at The Guitar Merchant, located at 7503 Topanga Canyon Blvd. in Canoga Park. It features an antique clock face around the sound hole, with its hands beneath.

I quite enjoy the beautiful simplicity of this guitar - there's definitely less metal on the body than some of the other instruments I've done, but carries an appropriate minimalism that gives more focus to the sound hole clock face. This guitar has a beautifully rich tone brought out by the antiquing treatment, and I would imagine it would sound truly excellent with a good pickup installed.
 
The headstock on this guitar features acid-treated tuning pegs, a rusty wind-up clock key, antique skeleton keyhole plate, and the number 361. Which I don't imagine is a very popular lucky number, but if it's yours, this is probably some sort of sign.
