Michael Weintrob's instrumental photography
CBSN
If you happen to walk past Michael Weintrob's photography studio in East Nashville, Tennessee, you'd notice something unusual happening inside. A '58 Stratocaster guitar donning a fake mustache and sunglasses has come to life like a rock 'n' roll creature emerging from the depths of some hellacious music studio.
The subject of the portrait is actually legendary rocker John Oates, and that guitar, purchased in 1973 on NYC's Upper West Side for $125, has appeared on every Hall & Oates record to date.
"I think that these instruments are an extension of who these musicians are," Weintrob told CBS News. "And one might say that they're hiding behind them, or maybe they're just showing their true self, because this is what they think about, that's where their heads are, really."
