Great thread, thanks for starting it.
A couple of years ago I "met" a guy over on UMGF, Michael Segui, who does block prints of blues singers and guitars. You can check out his stuff on his facebook page,
https://www.facebook.com/MichaelSegu.../photos_stream

Here are a couple I have (with Elizabeth Cotton and Robert Johnson on order)
Blind Boy Fuller


Rev. Gary Davis

Picasso had guitars in many of his paintings. At one point he included a guitar, a horseshoe and a couple of other objects. Some were hidden in the painting.

Check out the painting... "La Guernica"
