Joe Perry's Lucille custom

[jotrimble23]

hey guys, i know ive seen this guitar before, i think it's cool, but does anyone know how it's done? i want to get my girlfriend on my axe. just kidding, but i thought it was neat. im guessing some kind of print like epiphone uses on some of their guitar quilt patterns (like a large sticker) and then apply the guitars finish over it.

Joe Perry's wife had the Gibson Custom Shop make that for him. I'm pretty sure she had them airbrush that pic of her on it.

Yep, I've read that it was airbrushed. Now you just got to find yourself someone whose killer with a airbrush

I think there's a full bodyshot of her in a red dress airbrushed on the back too. That's a sweet guitar.

Ya know. Not alot of people know about that album/CD. It was their supposed comeback/ half ass sober album and happens to be one of my all time favorites by them. I love Joe Perry's "Let The Music Do The Talkin" as well as the rest of the bands "Darkness", "Shelia", "Gypsy Boots", "She's On Fire". and "My Fist Your Face". When I started playing in a band years ago when I was 18 or so, a couple of years later that CD/ album came out. I made sure we played My fist ur face and gypsy boots. ....Totally jammin album man!! One of the most underrated ever!! I think I'll listen to some now.

I second the Airbrush. A good artist can do amazing things! I've seen this guitar live!

on the other hand, if you remove the clearcoat (or before you put it on) and apply a good quality sticker, then clearcoat over that it should work well also. Not as good as airbrush, but.......

Here is a shot I took of Billie in November of 2005 in Columbus, Ohio.

Airbrushed photo. The one on the back is a full length shot of the one on the front. I'm sure I have newer and older shots it was the first one I found. BTW, it says Billie on the headstock. She also helped design the Boneyard LP for Joe as a present then Gibber talked JOe into doing a run of them.
