Al Jourgensen_Ministry, painted electric guitar

Dean ML painted by Al Jourgensen of Ministry This guitar was painted by industrial rock pioneer Al Jourgensen. It features flames painted in acrylic on a white body with the Ministry and RevCo emblems floating in the fire. Ministry was in Columbus, OH. performing at a different venue, the night Dime was killed. Jourgensen had made great efforts to try to get Damageplan on the Ministry bill for their show at another venue, but the promoters, contracts and production issues made it to difficult to work out on short notice. Had that happened it is quite likely that the tragedy that took place that night never would have happened. Jourgensen has been a very outspoken artist against the war in Irag, a strong supporter of artists rights, promoting anti-censorship and pro-education. He is a grammy-award winning, platinum-selling artist. This is a one-of-a-kind full playable and displayable Instrument of Art. Complete with electronics, pick-ups, strings and hardware installed at Dean USA. It is hand-painted or otherwise decorated by the artist who’s name is associated with the guitar. Proceeds from the auction of this guitar go to support LITTLE KIDS ROCK, one of the most exciting music education programs available to public schools in America. This guitar is one of over sixty pieces created for Six-String Masterpieces: The Dimebag Darrell Art Tribute.
