The project is unzipped and I don't know how it will open. Hope it helps out.

That stuff is really good, a bit smaller than what im working at, but the logos look really good - Going to use them deffinately. Also the inlays.

Yeah, I figured it would all be a lot smaller. Glad you can use some of it anyway :]
I can dig up the project I used to do the pickguards too. There are a lot of funky choices and will be easy to resize.

What I meant was - every colour you have in the chart except the bursts. We need an option for white body with purple sparkle stripes.

It's ok but I think we can better. It defintely needs to match the bridge, so maybe we can have a modern one taken direct from the stock Fender pic and a more vintage one that matches up the vintage style bridge. So it would be good to get both from the same pic. We could even have "mustang 1, mustang 2, mustang 3" and have one modern and two vintage to choose from.

Maple neck is getting me annoyed. If anyone finds a decent straight on pic without the fucking strings it'll be very welcome

You can edit out the strings. It takes a little while but is easy, even with wood grain.

I was, but the grain looked horrible, I'm a nazi with photoshop stuff, I can't have grain not matching up from fret to fret.

Rememeber that its going to be scaled down anyway.

One thing you could do is find a picture of a maple blank, use the rosewood neck I did to steal the frets from, and overlay the frets.
