I made this for the guitar player in my band. He's got a 18 Watt tube amp (not shown here) that will rip your head off. I figured he'd like the design enough that he just might use the thing and save all of our ears some abuse. Turns out, he loved it. Not a gig goes by without someone commenting on it and/or asking where he got it. It lets just enough sound out on stage, then we stick a mic behind it and pipe a little through the main PA system. Specs: 3/16" clear extruded plex, flame polished edges, etchmark frosted vinyl devil graphics & flexible plex hinges attached with plex cement.

That's cool. Do you use something similar with your drums? I have a factory made drum shield around mine, but I never thought about using one with a guitar. How do you transport it without scratching it?

Thanks guys! No back light Kathy, it looks evil enough I'm sure if he could he'd use a red light though. His wife found a canvas bag that fits it perfectly. It still gets scrached a bit though, you almost can't avoid it. I'm in the process of making a larger version for my drum kit. 60" tall pannels, the two outter ones have the flames, haven't decided on ant graphics yet though...

The best way to cut that shape (and many others) is with a CNC router. And as a cheap plug for myself and my route by night service I'm currently working in Waterloo so if you need anything I could pick it up and drop it off at your shop )
