So after listening to your helpful advice, and a lot of helpful ideas they were, and finding the right size stripes (Which turned out to be 2 sets); I finally put stripes on my bird. I put them on... I guess a few months ago, But I never really got any good pics of it till now.

Here it is in all its post "mod" glory (White Bell Knobs, Metal Pointers, Stripes).




Also, thanks again for the ideas. I'm really considering selling that pinstripe binding idea to our guitarist for his tele.

Speaking of, I'd always wanted a lefty Mustang Bass, but finding/affording one was impossible, so I finally settled on this SX short-scale, put the stripes on myself.

I bought some chrome striping tape to use on my Turser '54 P clone...maybe this weekend I'll remember to put it on!

I kinda like the idea of refins with a multicoloured edge to them, so...

If you refin with a variety of sizes of pinstripes and reposition to protect where you want to and spray again and... etc, etc...

At this point I usually get locked up in the soft room with the crayons...
