Here are some great soundbytes about Chris Compston's work taken from Eric Kirkland's Lightning Guider website:

"If you have ever seen a guitar with a painted image that seemed almost too obsessively detailed to be a painting and too like-life to be a photograph, you've probably witnessed the incomparable art of Chris Compston. A handful of other artists paint graphics on [instruments], but none that exude Chris' raw talent and singular gift for creating and transferring liknesses onto a canvas that has so many contours, challenges and irregularities. Chris doesn't just spray paint on the [instrument]; many of his clients believe that his inspired visions alchemically infuse the instrument with a haunting soul. Chris' client list reads like a who's who of rock and metal legends and his classic monster series, which includes a reproduction of Kirk Hammett's Boris Karloff guitar, are some of the most magnificent and appropriate renderings ever suffused on a guitar."
