I really wish there would be a high res! It looks awesome like that, too, but detail is very important in such images, I believe. That's one of those locations I'd love to visit

This is my first real attempt with photoshop. Used mostly warping, healing, and cloning to finish it. The only other source was a an acoustic guitar mostly to guide with the shaping and placement of the frets.
The body of the guitar was made using the arm and main part of the hand. where the arm and hand "pinch" together is where the two chambers come together. the neck is made from the middle and index fingers as well as the head. the bridge is composed of 2 index fingers.

GREAT job with the guitar..i think its very well done. i think the shadow of the hand is way 2 strong though..try bringing that down a bit. i think it will improve the overall entry. but awesome job!

The title is very suitable and funny! I only find the hand a little glossier and darker than the guitar.
