The Greek god Hephaestus was cast out of Olympus by his mother, Hera, who found him physically imperfect. He spent years in exile honing his craftsmanship in secret to create an incredibly ornate throne encrusted with gold, silver, and diamonds. He gifted the throne to Hera, who was astounded by its brilliance. However, when Hera sat upon the throne, mechanical limbs sprang up and bound her. Hephaestus refused to release his mother until he was formally recognized as an Olympian God. Hera, astonished by her son's genius, capitulated. At a young age, I was lured and bound by the brilliant craftsmanship of Guitar Gods like Jimmy Page and David Gilmour. While I never reached their levels of fame, I believe they would agree that, like Hephaestus, my decades of dedication to my craft has earned me a seat at the table. To create this, I first painted the entire guitar black. I used jeweler-grade adhesive to puzzle together hundreds of individual pieces of jewelry and chains that I’ve collected. I trim the sides of the guitar with a studded jacquard ribbon. It’s finished with a durable, UV protective clear coat to preserve its brilliance and ensure lasting beauty.
