Representing the great state of West Virginia is Brad Douglas Paisley, who was born in Glen Dale, West Virginia. I used 29 license plates to create a Telecaster, Paisley’s signature guitar. Because he is well-known for his playful songs, a tick is featured on the pick-up in tribute to his song, Ticks. It was created from a Michigan tag.

"I've played Telecasters my whole career," said Paisley, in a recent interview.
