Signed guitar project help

hey guys,

I've been working on a guitar for the past 8 years, getting all the best guitarists out there on her. I've come a long way but I still have alot further to go. Now it's mostly down to those who are retired/don't tour and the notoriously difficult guys - Page, Clapton, etc.

All I'm trying to do if create the best account of guitar history out there (not an easy task I know.) I had no idea getting a guitar signed was way harder than everything else. So, I'm throwing this out there to anyone whose ever scored a legend like Angus, Eric, Carlos, Eddie, etc. what your experience was. Or if anyone's got a good suggestion, I could use it I'm sure. The other day I tried to get Prince and it didn't happen at all. I've missed alot of key guys but I've alot been lucky too so I just gotta keep that in mind and keep on truckin'.

That one wasn't an easy one to land, that's for sure. I think I'd forgo the face sketch he did though.

Wow, that is an awesome guitar.

Seeing this makes me really want to take on a project like this, but I have no idea how I'd get access to them even though I work in a stadium.

Yes, the sides are also covered.

Tons of character to this piece, too.  Very cool.

Thanks. My idea was to mash together all the greats or the different eras and genres on one piece to tell the story.

this sounds like a great project. i'd love to see the guitar, as well. 

 

maybe you'll get Page when Led Zeppelin do their always rumored reunion tour (heh heh heh)

It's taken me a long time to do and alot of homework went into it. I'm still not done; I'm having trouble getting the rest of the really big fish but I guess it'll come to me somehow.

Dont give up, some of the guitar gods might actually sign something like this if you can get near them and politely ask and tell them your story.
