Fabricated in 2000, the Skeletar was carved from a single piece of rock maple, bleached white. The bones of the arm are inlaid in ebony with blood stones as the position markers. From luthier Peter McGilton's description of this masterpiece:
"My electric guitars were once described as encompassing 3 major themes of rock and roll: love, sex, and death…. The (Skeletar) image was conceived on a tour of the Hapsburg Palace in Vienna. In the basement are the family crypts and funeral vehicles, all elaborate Rococo sculptures glorifying death: Skeletons with Angel's wings larger than life in black cast iron."
