Decoupaged Music/ Strat body

[Puck1587]

Here is the only pick I have right now of my current build.
I took my squier strat and decided to make it unique.

As of right now the body is complete.

Black pick guard
SD '59 HB in bridge
SD APS II in neck and mid
Gold Jack plate
Gold Gotoh Traditional Tremolo for Strat: http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bridges,_tailpieces/Electric_guitar_tremolos/Gotoh_Traditional_Tremolo_for_Strat.html


Ordered the neck from W a couple weeks ago, a wenge/ebony without face dots, Wizard profile, 1 1/3 nut width.
Using gold  sperzel trim lok tuners.

I'll post more pix as soon as I get a camera that's not broken >_<

Really like the idea man, and it came out really well. For me, this is what Warmoth is all about; 100% Unique guitars.

Cool idea.  I like the burnt edges of the torn sheet music.  How'd you apply it to the body??

I always thought it'd be fun to put carpeting on a cheap guitar...

 

[Puck1587]

I used "mod podge" brand decoupage solution to affix the paper to the body. It works pretty well, you can also use a mixture of glue and water.

Lol @ the carpeting idea, I've toyed with the idea of using astro turf on an axe

thanks for the kind words so far, hoping I can find a camera soon, the hardware is killer with the finish, imho

The wait for the neck is killer, everyone that's helped with the project so far asks me every day or so "has it shipped yet?!"

I'm dying to know... what sheet music did you use??

 

[Puck1587]

"Malaguena" - Tradtional
"Pavane" - Luis Milan
"Waltz in E Minor" - Ferdinand Carulli
And one other I can't think of off the top of my head.(probably a study by Carcassi)
All from "Christopher Parkening's Guitar Method" v. I and II

I'm a classical guitar major in college,so I figured I'd make a guitar that represented me..

ZZ Top's fuzzy white explorers, maybe?

and...

Could it be the return of Chia-strat?! :toothy10:

I really like the idea of an electric guitar that's "physically rooted" in classical music. There's something really cool in that irony. Now you just have to start playing some hard blues on it; see if it bursts into flames!  :laughing7:

I might just have to incorporate/steal your idea a little bit for one of my next builds... Throw some pictures up soon

Thanks! about the hard blues, my  buddies and I started up a band, it's ska infused with a little southern rock/blues, so yeah I think this puppy'll light on fire during a band practice  arty07:
Still lookin for a camera to take more pix but right now I'm chillin out in jamaica <_<
Hopefully the neck'll come while I'm gone.
