A little Dean that I gave away, but came back to me, so I decided to have some fun over the summer. Though I never have keen on the idea of relicing a perfectly good guitar, I have been interested in doing a steampunk guitar. I ended up somewhere in between in the late 1950's Nevada desert .
Equipped with 2 SD 59's "Fawn" is not exactly a demure little girl.

Is it wrong to name your guitar?

Thanks guys for the kind words. Does anybody have any negative feedback or ideas on making it better while keeping the original theme intact .

I think that color looks great especially for a tad bit of a relic look. Great job!
