| WAY over the top! |
| The creative Mr. Greg Rich has a history of creating unusual and interesting appointments for instruments. In his tenure as in house artist in residence for Saga Musical Instruments, he produced several unique and interesting engraved instruments. Mr. Rich's personal policy of "never let any surface be devoid of decoration" led to his creation of the "Park Avenue". Take Regal's top of the line tri-cone metal resonator and decorate every surface with an artistic tableau. The front of the guitar features intertwining leaves which partially conceal an art deco style 30s fashion model. There are also 3 medallions engraved on the front, two of which contain similar appearing '30s women, while the third medallion features plumerias. The sides, believe it or not, feature a thin, engraved border, very simply and elegantly done. The back however, is a myriad of designs: at the top is an art deco ingenue in a flowing gown. Inside the gown is an engraved medallion with 3 more beautiful women inside. At the bottom of the image is another full length model in a cocktail gown flanked by a medallion containing a woman in tri-cornered hat and scarf, and on the other side another woman (Holly Golightly perhaps?) in a dress with billowing sleeves. With this much decoration, you just might be tempted to put it in a glass case and just stare at it all the time, but you won't be able to resist the urge to play it. With hard case. |
