Well, some of you might have seen the guitar project i started back in april, I never did finish it and have changed plans For it now.
Bassically, I have Discovered Matt Of the Wombats' Guitar, A pasiley tele, and im aiming for somthing like that.
Anybody who has seen paisley guitars will know they are georguous, very nice hipyp styling. Anyway, Matts is Blue, but im going for the more feminine Pink Variety, It looks yum.

Heres an example photo of what i want it to look like, The originals were not Mass Produced and were made in a very small numbers by fender, But one day i will own one, except not today as your looking at £800 for a decent co one.



As ambitous as most will say im being, It Is a fairly Easy effect to acheive with the right materials, Which i dont have money for yet But will have soon.

Pics of the guitar to follow.

Thanks
Craig

~Ok, The priject has changed a little again. Im not going to use pailsey anymore, as i think id be better just to do a custom than have a want to-be Pailsey, Like: Encore - Wannbe strat.

So ive picked my material and have it now, its white and has pink flowers.
The first thing im going to do tonight, is cut a template of the guitar, and get the Fabrice glued to the top, this should be quite easy but might take a few days to get good.
When im happy with it ill cut the holes for the scratchplate, bridge etc etc, Then Door a "poor boys burst" Around the edge of the guitar, as it is a curved start it might be a bit difficult, but im gonna give it a go anyway. The burst is similar to what you see in the picture, the Pink "fading" around the edge

Pics to come
thanks

Sorry, true though there great guitars to play though, I got one just for messing about on and bringing to school when im too lazy to bring my guitar case as its heavy, was only £30 so it dont matter if it gets knocked about hehe.

The Fabric of choice:
