Painted Axe Books Commission with the Blues Cruise

    /24-7PressRelease/ - INDIANAPOLIS, IN, May 19, 2007 - Painted Axe is producing an exclusive custom-painted guitar for the summer Backbone of the Blues Tour and the October 2007 Blues Cruise.

The Painted Axe guitar will be part of the silent auction on board ship; and auction benefits raised go to the Blues Foundation. In addition to the unique artwork, the guitar will be autographed by some of the leading performers on the October cruise.

"We chose a Fender Toronado for the guitar. It's unique configuration and ample surface area make it perfect for the Blues Cruise design," said Michael Gauf, owner of Painted Axe (http://www.PaintedAxe.com). "We are extremely excited by the opportunity to work with the Blues Cruise and look forward to forming an on-going relationship with them."

Painted Axe has created custom guitars using '70s wallpaper, the famous Delta crossroads, spin art, 1920s Detroit Blues scene and a female rocker as themes. Painted Axe accepts individual commissions and corporate/business promotional assignments.
