Quotes
"The reason that I didn't discover it when I was setting the guitar up, is when you look at it from this angle (from the neck down) the face disappears, which is proof that it cannot have been faked, that it is actually in the grain, because if it were airbrushed in there, or somehow faked, no matter what angle you looked at it, it would still be there."—Instrumental Music and Sound employee Jeff HoyerLudington Daily News: Facing the music?

"Well, it reminded me, and a couple of other people, of the Shroud of Turin and we know who that was. It also reminds me of my brother, he's a biker."—Jeff HoyerLudington Daily News: Facing the music? (November 28, 2008)
