A few weeks ago I found this pink little guitar at a garage sale marked for $30. I offered $20 and she came home with me! It was a bit rough, dirty, and a horrid shade of pink.

My roomie and I (who is very artistic) began hatching a plan to take this poor, neglected guitar and make it an awesome representation of everything me. Soon, we decided on a LOZ theme, since that is my favorite game franchise. It all began over two weeks ago, like this...

This is the halfway point, it things kinda stopped there for about a week...

Today was a cold, rainy day here in NC, so I decided to finish up the ol' girl. When I did, it literally took my breath away. I still can't believe how amazing it turned out, and that this baby is ALL mine!! And it only cost me $20!!!!!

    The pink reminds me of the stock Fretlight pink. When they first came out they only came in that pepto pink or black. I love the green you chose, reminds me a lot of an american made Kramer I had before they started makin them in Japan. Great job on the stencils...I must ask though...Why not get rid of the stock PU's? Get an new pick guard and get ya some doubles :D
