Northwest artist Tom Anderson has created a series of works that merges his love of mixed-media artwork and his love of guitars. He starts with a fully-functioning electric guitar, disassembles it, then “decorates” the body in his distinctive style. The guitar is then reassembled, adjusted and “tuned.” The result is an absolutely unique work of art that is ready to play or display.
This particular item is a 2007 Fender Squire Fat Stratocaster with a maple neck and rosewood fingerboard, Duncan Humbucker pick up and two single pole AINico pickups, and ’60s style matching headstock. It is finished with mixed media metal leaf, acrylic and polyurethane varnish.
These guitars sell for $1,500, but this one comes with some tantalizing extras, like a hard case (also painted by Tom Anderson) plus two 2015 season subscriptions to Harlequin Productions and two $15 concessions cards.
The auction is running now until October 26. Bids may be placed at www.biddingowl.com/HarlequinProductions.
Thanks to Dan Weiss for his generous participation in making this item available.
