Something I have grown to love over the years is the ineptitude of a large fraction of artists when faced with the challenge of drawing a guitar. This image from the "real people in comics" rekindled the love, but I want to see what you've got.http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lyNSe4WVBkQ/UxM5CHKioMI/AAAAAAAABYE/58G-NXib_ks/s1600/2014-03-01+17.04.20.jpg

I went looking for Hard Rock Comics because I remember how terrible their art was. But the one thing they seemed to get within spitting distance of 'not bad' was guitars.
