  • Best in Show NAMM 2006

    Who gets the blue ribbon in guitar painting for the 2006 NAMM county fair? These 2 dudes had the most entries by far, so I chose to eliminate a few other contestants from the poll.

          I refuse to choose! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I consider this art & as such it's a totally subjective thing. I will say that Mike's cutting-edge work has appealed to me a little more recently, & Dan seemed to be more focused on retro-style stuff. That isn't the case at this show. I love what both of them have come up with, especially Dan's Kelly & Mike's Tele! [img]/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img]

              I didn't vote for either - they're both amazing artists, and I'm in awe [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img] What I will say is that I don't really like the whole gothic skulls stuff, which means that alot of what Mike does doesn't appeal to me, so if I had a gun to my head, I'd go for Dan.....

              Personally, many of the more advanced graphics have looked too busy recently - the Samurai, Hells Koi pond, the extreme Kelly, coloured Dragon etc all look great close up, but from more than a couple of feet away, the graphic disappears and the guitar looks like skittle-vomit.....

                      Both are amazing talents. [img]/images/graemlins/notworthy.gif[/img] Mike comes here, participates on the forum and gives us teasers, Dan doesn't(other than 1 or 2 posts) - Mike wins, for me. [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

                        Re: Best in Show NAMM 2006

                        I voted Dan for bringing back the classics this year.

                        I think Mike is flat out amazing, his skill is unparalleled.

                        But, I have a soft spot for Dan this year.

                          no offense to Mike Learn, he's a great artist but I don't care for his 99% of the graphic work done on Charvel/Jacksons

                            Mike has super skills, incredible hand. He is doing stuff wich probably appeal more for younger players, I do find some of his graphics really amazing but I just don't dig the whole skull, gothic, dark, etc. thing.

                            I like Dan's oldschool stuff the most.

                              I abstain, because they both KICK ASS and are probably pushing each other (in a good way) to be more creative and killer with every guitar they do.
