I came upon this in Youtube by accident... there's a guy named Gig Goldstein who you custom carve a guitar for $400. He needs a blank body (no finish) and the work he does is incredible. Do a search on Gig Carved Guitar (or something like that). My two favorites is the grim reaper and alice in wonderland. I'm getting him to do an Alien/Predator them on an SG, or at least I'm looking into finding a Gibson at a reasonable price for him to do this.
