So, in keeping with Doug's Grateful Dead framing and while we're in the 60's, we just finished a signed Bob Dylan guitar in a plexi box.
We had the tie dye material created and the material was mounted over a strainer.
A plexi bracket was made in the shop to attach at the strap screw on the guitar.
A fabric wrapped wooden post was made to lift up and attach the headstock end of the neck.
The client insisted that we frame and install the certificate of authenticity behind the neck of the guitar.
We would normally have just put the certificate on the back and we would have preferred that but this is what they insisted on.
Also, the client wanted the guitar to be hung either horizontally or vertically so the framed cert. is attached to a pivot with a handle on the back of the strainer so that it can be rotated either way.
The guitar may seem to be off center in the photos, but it's just the odd angle that the photos were taken.
Photos were taken before the plexi box was installed.
I tuned the guitar before it was attached. :nod:
I've played the guitar for almost 50 years.
I was in a rock band in Chicago in the 60's and 70's but that's a whole other thread...:hippie:
