So, I finished up the artwork, printing, cutting, painting and mounting for my Dean Guitars “Six String Masterpieces” custom guitar. Here are some shots of the steps I used to get the artwork on the guitar. Turned out pretty good I think. Can’t wait to see it after Dean gives it a factory clear coat and installs all the knobs and pick-ups!

Cutting out the printed artwork and masking off the white guitar to be painted.

If it ain’t black it’s whack!

“Z-gel” clear acrylic makes for a great archival adhesive for inkjet prints.

Exacto-blading out all the little holes for the knobs and areas for the pickups.

Ready to deliver to Dean for the finishing touches!
