Idea that didn't work out so well in practice

Woke up this morning with an idea for a tsunami jazzmaster---super surf rock! I thought it would look cool, but I fiddled with it for awhile and kept adding too much or too little, and ended up scrapping it-- but here are the results!

I think the idea is cool... but personally I would make the wave go up, over and partially around the top of the trem...

The bottom of the guitar would be alot more blue, but I think it would look good that way!

I think bigger would be the way to go, since heres so mu much stuff on the JM body

Like this? I was worried it would be too much too tacky. Heres two more with another pickguard colour:

Well, I like it! But then, I also like the Spacemaster!

I kind of like it too!
But if you want to make something similar with a real guitar, what would be the method ?
Print some thin stickers, then put it on the guitar, and then applying a clear coat ?

Does someone have an idea?

yes, i guess that's pretty much how you would do it.

watch out that the printing wont bleed because of the laquer

Would it be possible to get the print on the pick-guard as well so that it's not interrupted?

Nice Hokusai! Fantastic illustrator.

I'd agree with the big version, though the off-colour water dots look a little out of place against the fine line work of the artist on the JM colour.

Kind regards

i think it looks good on the computer, but wouldn't be as cool on an actual guitar.

yeah it would be possible - i remember reading an article in a guitar magazine a few years ago, about this £6000 fender strat with a decal of jimi hendrix's face plastered on it.. cant seem to find a pic now though. :-\.. hopefully they've all been burnt

Oh, i have no idea how you'd do it...
