In the story I’m working on, one of the heroes has a guitar designed like angel wings. So I started trying to figure out what that might look like.
Google image search supplied these two basic ideas. First, the two symmetrical wings. Second, the single swan wing. I’m not sure which I like better. They’re both pretty sweet looking.

Cool. I think I like the symmetrical one better.
I’ve tried finding images to help me draw the guitar in Finding Angel, but googling “dragon guitar” has brought up nothing even close to what is in my head. I suppose I’ll have to find a pic of a regular guitar that I think I can use as a base and go from there. Someday.

Guitars are really fun to draw. I’d like to see what you come up with. This is for your rocker elf, right?

Hrm. You know what would be a fun irony? To incorporate a harp into this kinda design…

Hmm. Like having an angel wing on one side and a harp on the other?

That could work. But I was imagining more like a harp in the middle, where the strings come down and then the wings sprouting out on each side… So it’d be like an angel winged harp, in a way… And those circular bits at the top of the neck, that are used to tune the strinsg – are they called keys? – if done in goldish colors, could be like a stack of small halos…
But hey, as always – it’s your art. Do whatever makes ya happy.

Uhm. On the other hand…
‘Eagle-winged’ harp guitars apparently already exist. Photos at the bottom of this page: http://www.harpguitars.net/history/mozzani/mozzani5.htm

Now, those are AWESOME. There used to be some neat angelwing ones, for some Japanese guitarist, but they seem to have fallen off the internets.

Nope, it was just wings. Although that’s a really awesome sword-wing-guitar. 🙂
