Please tell me you're not suggesting I do purple, red, blue and orange pickguards...

Pffft! No way. I think
tortoise shell would be the most apt way to go

Nice.
There's this one I'm fond of, too. I have it drawn up somewhere I think:

what if you did a headstock shape that mirrored the shape of the lower horn?

It'd look sort of like a fat chili pepper with tuning pegs or something

I like the Custom Kraft a lot, but with that "inlay" or whatever you call that.
We got people playing stringed instruments! It's the end of days.

I still think the Starcaster looks the best.

+1

Someone knows where I can find the nearest woodchipper to throw my pieces of junk into?

I'd stick with the Starcaster one too

I think so, too. Though maybe a slightly stubbier version?

Not bad. it would give you better access to the high E string.
How about combining it with this design. Make the top bit like this Ibanez design.

I like that last Starcaster revision Ben, but how about bringing the downward-pointing horn part in a little? Sort of make the bottom of the point, and the bottom of the swoop on the same horizontal line.
