bobby on 07/06/2012	So does Gibson get the guitars when the artist is done or does the artist keep them?

NoOneYouKnow on 06/21/2012	I was wondering when someone would get around to doing 18th century-style woodcarving on a guitar. I really like this guy's work.
HJ on 06/21/2012	Okay, now I really want copper hardware. LOL. Props to Gibson for involving artists in their work, these are really inspired.
Frank Spero on 06/21/2012	georgeous guitars i'll bet they will go for a fortune but worth every penny

Epidrake on 06/20/2012	James is a great artist and a really good guy. Met him at a Gibson event at The Music Zoo on Long Island NY and he was gracious and very informative with his ideas about art.
