Press Release Body = Painted Axe is producing an exclusive custom-painted guitar for
the summer Backbone o the Blues Tour and the October 2007 Blues Cruise.

The Painted Axe guitar will be part of the silent auction on board ship; and auction
benefits raised go to the Blues Foundation. In addition to the unique artwork, the
guitar will be autographed by some of the leading performers on the October cruise.

"We chose a Fender Toronado for the guitar. It's unique configuration and ample
surface area make it perfect for the Blues Cruise design," said Michael Gauf, owner
of Painted Axe (http://www.PaintedAxe.com). "We are extremely excited by the
opportunity to work with the Blues Cruise and look forward to forming an on-going
relationship with them."

Painted Axe has created custom guitars using \'70s wallpaper, the famous Delta
crossroads, spin art, 1920s Detroit Blues scene and a female rocker as themes.
Painted Axe accepts individual commissions and corporate/business promotional
assignments.
