Custom Guitar
I decided to customise my Fender Stratocaster by creating a custom design using vehicle wrapping vinyl for the body and a custom printed design for the pickguard. I chose to wrap the guitar in a Hexis vinyl with a colour-shift effect whereby its colour changes from a dull green to a dusky pink when viewing it from different angles. I then created a design to be printed and allied to the pickguard featuring my late dog, poppy in the style 1960s and 70s psychedelic poster art.
This project required careful colour matching between the printed vinyl of the pickguard and the colour-shift vinyl on the body. After several print samples and colour adjustments, I managed to achieve colours which in person appear incredibly close to the varying tones found on the body of the guitar.
