Arcade artwork for other means.

[ThatArtGuy]

This is both on, and off, topic. I am thinking of creating a unique guitar for myself by using arcade artwork. Part of me is not wanting to, since it seems out of place, but I made a proof of concept just for my self satisfaction. If I were to go this route, does anyone make stencils at different sizes? I really would like to stay away from using vinyl.

Thanks. (Proof of concept attached.)

Interesting. But for your frett design, I would put the Pac-Man in the middle and facing to the right instead, followed by one dot followed by the four blue ghosts and I would put the regular four ghosts on the left chasing Pac-Man.

Interesting Idea. But I would leave the fretboard original.
I think it is a bit too much.

This reminds me of one of the vendors that was at Pinball Expo this year ... Cithara Guitars.

Saw them mentioned on several recap videos ... here's an example.

This video gives you a quick overview of their process. I know they can customize the fretboard ... not sure about the headstock.

Maybe if you sent them part of a trashed cabinet, they could build you what you want, although your artwork above looks awesome too.

I once had a Les Paul in factory "nuclear yellow" that I now wish I'd kept around, just for this treatment.
