Axe Totem Will Turn Your Guitar into an Art Sculpture
Peter Vallas — May 20, 2011 — Art & Design
Axe Totem is a shop from San Francisco that designs one-of-a-kind stands for instruments such as electric guitars and violins. The designs take days to comprise as each stand is made specially to fit the style and shape of the guitar.
After designing the patterns and shapes for the design via computer modeling software, Axe Totem then turns it into a foam mock-up model. If the customer is happy with it, the shop then goes ahead and spends hours intricately carving plywood into the designs comprised.
Axe Totem's work is far from ordinary as the guitar stands looks better than most of the guitars that are even displayed on it. I would definitely like to own one of these if I had $1,500 to spare!
