So, if you saw this........

you know my dilemna. If you didn't see that before, search for post "what to do...refinish or not".

Well, I took the advice of a few of you (BP included) and went with the adhesive vinyl option for now....I'm most likely going to go with a refinish at some point. My original plan was all white. After I got a layer of white on there, I realized a few things - 1. white shows every flaw in the application process (mainly tiny air bubbles) - b. white is see thru...you could still see the original graphic clearly - 3. it looked like a nice guitar with a cheap white sticker on it.:(

So now I had this big white canvas and had to decide what to do with it. I did this...

It's a little nutty, but it's different than any guitar I've ever had before. It's certainly not what I would choose if I were doing a permanent refinish....but after a couple of days it has grown on me. Just thought I'd share. C'ya.

Your nuts.As mad as a box of monkeys.Its your guitar so if you like it fine.I'd either leave it or try a plain colour,like black or you could swap it to me.

I've seen spots like that many times after a long night of drinking..... I like it :D

If you're self-conscious about the body, fear not. Anyone who appreciates fine guitars will notice that awesome flamed maple neck/fingerboard and nothing else.

Does it still play the same? Are the dots decals or paint?

It's all just decals.....could be removed easily in 10 minutes. I could do something different every month if I fealt like it ( I just might ). It made no difference in sound or feel at all....this stuff is super thin.

Phazer - I will get a refinish for sure.....white sparkle or white with gold pearl (SIMS CUSTOM SHOP) or MYSTIC DREAM!
I just haven't decided on what color yet....so I'm taking my time until I can decide.

You did a very nice job with the vinyl applique! Looks good man. Wonder what it would look like in a tanslucent color? Like trans red. Hummm..... that's if the grade of wood underneath is good enough. Or a burst. Yeah... :D
