I love this. It's strong, and reminds me of something very contemporary, like you might see it in an art gallery or hanging on the wall in some ultra modern decor for a splash of the unexpected.

guitar seems to be in mid air copied onto the picture... would have preferred to see the "ghost" holding it somehow...
