Ben’s Guitar
April 28th, 2009 | Posted by in Family Life
In addition to being a kitty-maker and painter, Ben is also *quite* the musician. He plays mostly guitar and guitar-like stringed instruments (mandolin anyone?). Recently he has reconnected with an old friend from the past and they have been making new music together- which inspired Ben’s revamp one of his guitars- a 14 year old (his very first electric guitar!) ‘Lipstick Red’ electric guitar.
He painted it matte black and sanded/reshaped the body to look more pointed. As you can see, it is much cooler now….
(he lost the back covers a few years ago, so he made make-shift covers out of some random plastic he found… including a plastic bottle!)
How’s that for DIY!

Aside from being an artist, I am also a local Indie rock band producer/promoter here in L.A. and I can appreciate this blog entry so much. I am amazed, of all the bands I’ve been around for years, I have never encountered any one who did this or even attempted to. This is awesome! Great job!
Thanks so much! I think its pretty great that Ben can use his handy skills with his art + music. It makes for some very interesting ideas!
