“less is more is less”

Art installation

$12,000

Created for the Boutique Guitar Showcase at NAMM 2025, the installation

»Less is More is Less« explores the conceptual evolution of Cosmo in a playful,

artistic way. It features a fully working two-string batten e-guitar (right), a textile-body pictogramm sculpture (left), and the center piece the Cosmo — hand-painted by Las Vegas based artist Pretty Done. By partially removing the powder coating with a vacuum, he created a bold pattern before it is permanently baked in. This pattern intentionally disrupts the guitar’s clean shape, creating a tension of more & less.
