Guitar Jewelry

Did you notice the pack of teens that just skirted by? Amongst the mid-drift t-shirts, the micro white shorts, and the streaks of neon yellow and green that peak through, there’s a new theme that teenagers are proclaiming. Body jewelry, now becoming mainstream, is giving way to the Ed Hardy shirts, while the craze to declare ones love for music shines. Be it a guitar pick hanging from a long neck chain, or a rhinestone guitar bracelet, guitar jewelry is hot.
“It’s a chance to show our own style” uttered Jim, a tall but slightly built teen, who had several guitar pick necklaces around his neck, on top of a ripped T Shirt with tattoo motifs ablaze. “Skulls” and “Death” in bright colors intertwined as the soft melancholy vocals of the band “tomorrow’s death” played on. “My girlfriend and I hooked up at the last concert and we rock”, proclaimed Jim as he proudly showed us the new necklace just purchased for his girlfriend – a long chain with guitar pick, rhinestone guitar and peace sign charms.
Attributed to Hannah Montana, or perhaps a resurgent love for the guitar itself, teens are in love with the motif. From the buzzing and wildly electric craze, to the more mellow and enjoyable country folk sound, guitars are everywhere – emblems on a blouse; screened onto a hat, or guitar jewelry, the theme is simple – MUSIC LIVES inside all of us. Declared with youthful energy as individual styles are decided, it appears that teens have struck a new note on a recurrent theme – Rock ‘n Roll is here to stay – a theme which many of us might recall from a few years back.

Many artists and music enthusiasts love their guitars. Their love for guitars drives them to make their own custom designed guitars. These guitars involve making use of graphics, bright colors, different designs and state-of-the-art technology, to produce the best quality of sound. Many guitarists have redefined the shape and look of a guitar to make it look unique and different. Custom-built electric guitars are usually made in accordance to the likes of an individual. Many production companies cater to their clientele with the assurance that their custom guitar will not be replicated. This gives the owner a personalized guitar. Custom- built guitars are expensive and valued possessions of artists, and to replicate them would diminish the value quite a bit.
These aspects of guitar playing have existed for years, however, for the left handed player, playing the guitar was more about dealing with and maneuvering around certain inherent difficulties of the guitar industry rather than romance and personal satisfaction.
