The Guitar Art of Lou Yanez

Lou is an old Christ The King high school buddy of mine who has been painting custom artwork on guitars

 

for about 5 years now. As you will see, he is quite talented. If you're interested in owning one of these

 

beautiful masterpieces, or having your existing guitar painted,  you can contact Lou at louisyanez@gmail.com .

 

If you already have a particular graphic or idea, it can be perfectly recreated for you by Lou.

Check out the article in Premier Guitar magazine about 

The Guitar Art of Lou Yanez  featuring one of the guitars he painted for me.

Gibson also recently did an article about Lou featuring these guitars...

Check it out, here

 

 

I found these miniature guitar replicas selling on eBay...apparently, the makers of these collectible miniatures

have seen and are using Lou's designs.
