Brooklyn-based artist Fred Stesney has created a set of portraits of some of rock's most legendary six-string artists...without their guitars.
You've probably seen the images Stesney modeled these drawings after, but you definitely haven't seen them like this.
Says Stesney:
"Guitar players can get away with making some funny faces and postures, but when you take away the six-stringed excuse, they look pretty silly."
Check out Stesney's drawings in the gallery below! And check out his other work at behance.net.

“I only used the back pickup. Ozzy hates the sound of the front pickup. He calls it the ‘cow tone’”: Bursting with ideas but deferential to Ozzy Osbourne, a young Zakk Wylde had interesting guitar instructions upon joining the legendary frontman's band
“It was very simplistic compared to my later compositions”: It may have been inspired by the Kinks, but Al Di Meola's Race with Devil on Spanish Highway is one of the great virtuoso displays in guitar history. Watch the maestro play it with Steve Vai
