I was going to paint the headstock but i've found someone who can make a decal in the Fender script which will say "Benders Stratocaster" with "Bite my shiny metal Axe" underneath and on the back of headstock instead of "made in USA" it will say "Made in Omericon Persi 7" [another Futurama reference]
Similar to this picture but with the changes in text
Hey! Who's the guy who offers decals like that! I want one!

Heres a few pics taken over the weekend, theres a gap by Frys knee so Amy is going to be added. I've now decided to match the front of the headstock with the rest of the guitar. It's rough at moment but once the black outlines are added it hopefully should look good.
First pic is the body with guide lines in pencil.

That's really coming together! Sorry if you've already mentioned it, but what kind of pens/paint are you using for the color areas?

The paint is mainly Creatix airbrush, automotive custom colour paint and paint thats suitable for pinstriping and a mixture of waterbased inks and pens.

But you 're not airbrushing anywhere that I can see . . . so you must be brushing it on !? Right ?

Hey , James L.
Why don't you farm out the artwork to the Doc here !?
Would you consider it, Doc ?

I came to play late, but the fact that the Futurama writers could stuff Quantum Mechanical jokes into the show so easily just floored me. My favorite was this exchange at the track...
"Announcer: And it's a dead heat. They're checking the electron microscope. And the winner is... number 3, in a quantum finish.
Prof. Farnsworth: No fair! You changed the outcome by measuring it."
I am really enjoying this build.

The main body is airbrushed, but to get close to the colour of the programme and to give a 'tattoo feel' [if that makes sense] the remainder of the body is done with a mixture of waterbased inks/paint and pens and pinstriping paint for highlighting effects.
