ICED EARTH webmaster Todd Brown has issued the following update:

"Jon (Schaffer) checked in with IcedEarth.com this morning to let everyone know that he is working with a fabuluous artist in Califonia who is custom painting many of Jon's guitars. Her name is Sara Ray and her portfolio is available on her website. Not only can Sara give your guitar a custom look, she can also customize your amps, cases, and even your motorcycle! We'll be posting photos of the guitars when they are finished with a little more about Sara and the process involved in creating the custom art for Jon's guitars. Says Jon, 'Sara has an incredible style and I look forward to showcasing the guitars at some very special shows later in 2008!' The photo above is one of Sara's previous works that caught Jon's eye."
