Default Custom paint job

Where would one go for a custom flag style paint job on an acoustic guitar?

Why would you want to do it is the first thought that comes to mind. Almost every acoustic guitar I have ever seen pained to look like a flag looks awfully tacky.

Do you have a Harley Davidson shop in your area ? There is usally an airbrush artist that they use to do custom work on tanks ect.

If you can't find someone local to you I have your guy. PM me. But he is in Canonsburg Pa. The Harley paint shop idea is a good one. Thats what this guy does. I have seen a few "Flagged" guitars he did. Not my cup of tea, I wish he'd quit putting it on Chinese guitars! An American flag on a Chinese guitar just ain't....well..... American!

Find a Buck Owen's Harmony guitar, that's close or get a Martin POW-MIA, it has an american flag in the case. Also cedarcreekcases.com has a patriot case: http://cedarcreekcases.com/patriot.php

Look into airbrush artists.
MIke Learn does some amazing work.
