Being a bassist I do agree...I want to see this..lol

To the OP, I know http://www.jkrgear.com/gear.php?cat=...0Gear&id=00018 works with sheds from reptiles. You could ask them. I personally love seeing the sheds of Gaboon vipers. One of my friends use to have a shed he got while down in Florida..lol

But if Heather can't help you or none of them can I dun know any more. I do know BHB keeps SOME large sheds, so Brian would be a good bet.

@ The Serpent Merchant, and Zeion97, Basically what I want to do is strip down my guitar, paint it a flat black, glue the shed over the body with the belly right up the center. I did it once but as you can see in the picture, I neglected to put a scratch-proof finish on it. From years of playing much of the shed wore off. This time I plan to use a Mod-Podge coat like what is used on award plaques and wood bar tops so it appears to be "under glass".

The shed will let the black base color thru and contrast between the semi-transparent shed and color I think will make the guitar look like a snake that "morphed" into a guitar. Oh, and this is a vintage Kramer Pacer so afficionados will tell me I'm nuts.

If you Fang find anyone through here with one big enough, you might also check with your local zoo? See if they have any large snakes. Can't wait to see it. :)

I did this down the center of a bar once.... Used the shed from 2 snakes :D I didn't paint is tho :confused: I burned the wood then laid the bellys over and sprayed automotive clear coat over about 12 coats haha I wish had pics it turned out awesome

Hey Jetplane, I just wanted to let you know that my big girl is going into shed, so hopefully within the next two weeks I'll have something to send you :)
