Wasn't really my thing either on paper... When I cut out the body I thought it looked a bit like a bread board, so I asked a local artist to do something with it and the snake was the end result, now I love it. BTW the artist is on facebook as Gee-Gal and she has purchased a tele kit from pitbull and is carving a giant redback spider into the body, hopefully she will put up a build diary soon, its stunning!
