A little update. Turns out that it's possible to sand the edge of the paper and get it pretty smooth. This is good because there's a bit of glue on the edges that needs to be leveled as well. My plan is to get the back pretty good, then do the front.
More later,

Oooooh, I didn't know you could use fabric... there is a fabric store near me that has about a million cotton prints that are fantastic. They must have 100 different patterns in the Japanese samurai style area alone. A lot of it has metallic color lines over the regular color, which really makes the artwork pop and just looks cool. Now every time I go there I'm going to envision them all on guitars.

Nothing will be happening for awhile: tonight is rehearsal, then tomorrow some friends of ours come back from India so we're meeting at the pub, then saturday my wife and I are dropping the boy off at the bass player's house for a sleepover - and we're having a date at a posh B&B!! :hello2:
I likely will do the front on sunday. Stay tuned.... :guitaristgif:

Current W endorsee Warner Hodges used to have an ESP tele covered in flannel pajama fabric with a cowboy motif. The guitar was referred to as Cowboy Bob, if I recall correctly.

Sounds bitchin' there mayfly, but canary! I kinda thought the rosewood fit a bit better.... :dontknow:mayfly said:
Still as you say should be one damn fine guitar. BTW, I really haven't found a nice paisley design for a plate. If you happen to run across something you like, shoot it my way via email. Or you might try a good close up of the paper you have and maybe I can work off of that...

Yea, I was going back and forth between rosewood and canary - I even did photoshop mockups and carried the printout around with me just to look at.
In the end it was kind of a coin toss, with a nod to the tone I wanted. BTW, I selected a particular fingerboard - I'll figure out how to post the photo.
Regarding the paisley - I'll get something groovy for ya to work from :headbang1:
