 From the words of el daga about this guitar

"For me images are my language. I see them and hear them at the same time. It is an automatic association. I heard the image of Jack Casady as soon as I first saw a photo of him playing this bass. Headband, sunglasses, downturn of his face, and that incredible thumb. It sounded like the Thunder God Jupiter but had the beauty of a golden idol. If ever a guitar was destined to be played by a player, this was the time In my mind, I saw Jack Casady morphing from his role as a member of a band to the star of an universe. That's why I chose the image used on the front of this guitar. This is the real Jack Casady-the upfront star. And on the back, I chose those images that show Jack as a member of a group-Jefferson Airplane-that gave rise to his development as a 'star'.

This is another piece of my performance art. It is a combination of collage along with light reflection. You can show this art by playing it I sign, and number, each of my creations and I can absolutely guarantee you that no two pieces are the same. Each is unique and one of a kind-as a piece of art should be.  A gig bag e is included with this piece.

Condition.

This guitar is in good artistic condition. That means it is far from perfect. The chrome is not always straight, its corners are not always clean, and the finish is stippled due to the compound used by the artist to seal it. It is a piece of art not to be confused with a regular guitar. It does play just like any other comparable Epiphone bass.

My guarantee.

Buyer has 72 hours after receipt to inspect it. If at the end of that 72 hour period, Buyer decides, for any reason, that this is not the guitar they were expecting, it can be returned to me for a full refund of original purchase price (less cost of original shipment). Buyer to play cost of shipping guitar back to me.
